This was a Zorro
series done right. I never much cared for Topps' "Zorro" series
that came in the later 1990s. The art was good, but the stories
were a bit too edgy and "un-Zorro-like". Not much laughs.
Marvel's "Zorro", however, is the kind of Zorro series I think fans of
the character always wanted. The art was great. The stories
were adventurous, but not too serious. Just plain fun. Most
issues were stand-alone stories, but there was an occasional, ongoing
subplot.
Marvel's "Zorro" lasted only twelve issues from 1990 to 1991. This series was based on the "Zorro" TV series that lasted from 1990-1993. Like the TV series, this comic series had almost zilch for press, which is probably the reason neither one lasted for very long. At least not with much notice, and that's sad, because this is quite excellent.
The time and place is 1815, Los Angeles, California. Don Diego de la Vega is the costumed vigilante known as Zorro, who fights against the oppression of the evil Alcalde, Luis Ramone and his forces. His aide is a mute boy named Felipe. Zorro's horse is called Toronado in this series, not Tornado like in other interpretations. Zorro's love interest is barmaid Victoria Escalante. Fat Sergeant Jaime Mendoza carries out the Alcalde's orders and is always in pursuit of the heroic Zorro. Don Diego's father is Don Alejandro de la Vega, and he's clueless of his son's crime-fighting career.
