Not only was there a three year gap between the first and second novels but a ten year gap between the second and third novels. Argosy beginning around 1928-1929 actively pursued adventure writers, like W. Wirt and encouraged others, like George F. Worts and Johnston McCulley to revive some of their earlier characters (Peter the Brazen and Zorro). Zorro appeared roughly once a year during the 30s, unlet their many other series characters which tended to appear more often. It wasn't until Zorro moved to West that it appeared on a regular basis.bebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-85943743524911291672011-10-16T09:08:03.575-05:002011-10-16T09:08:03.575-05:00Great review of this novel.

In this book, Zorro still has his secret identity. Otherwise, it is almost word for word. I am under the impression that Arneson had permission from Zorro Productions, Inc. to rewrite this novel. Arneson also did a rewrite of Zorro Rides Again, keeping Zorro's identity secret. As James Reasoner, in his review of this novel points out--Zorro had already exposed his true identity after The Curse of Capistrano. In these two following novels, McCulley gives us more Zorro adventures but it is awkward without his identity being secret. Still, they are all great reads.Linda Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049986320407610743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-35002397291527878652011-10-15T22:38:12.850-05:002011-10-15T22:38:12.850-05:00Johnston McCulley's first three Zorro stories ...Johnston McCulley's first three Zorro stories have also been adapted as full-cast as radio dramas.

I know that's hard to believe considering the fame of the character but I haven't found the book at all.
