Who thinks Dynamite should print the Second Year of the Dailies

[Kevin]

As we all know, Zorro the Dailies was a comic strip done from 1999-2001 by Don McGregor. It basically picked up where Alex Toth left off.

The first year was printed.

The second year never was.

It drives all zorro collectors absolutely BONKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who thinks that Dynamite should make an attempt to print the second year of the dailies just to provide a book end to the collection?

[Guicho]

Sure why not, do they even do this kind of thing?
It could conflict with their new series, since they will be following a slightly different new/old continuity. They might do better to keep conflicting stories out of the public eye while they start out, I don’t know.
Or at least not be actively publishing them themselves.
I would love to get a chance to buy them though.

all they need to do is publish it like the first collection. I seriously doubt people would confuse the two series, it'd just look like someone managed to finally produce the second year of th edailies ;D

Yeah nobody’s going to confuse the two, but they may conflict with each other. Lets say if Dynamite is trying to promote Bernardo as Native American again, they might not want to be actively promoting something that’s been saying he is not for years.
At least not at first while they are launching their new series,
but eventually I’d agree the Dailies are definitely worth collecting.

I thought Bernardo was part indian in Don and Toth's strip? I'll have to re-read volume one but I was almost positive there's a comment about how he learned the herbal remedies...

then again I could be mixing up Allende's book with the strip ;)

:D

I always thought that Bernado was as Spanish as his employer. Where did this native american thing start?
And a definate "Yes!" to a second volume- I've read the first and the art's better than what's in Toth's edition.

Bernardo was Native American (“Indian”) in the Original Curse of Capistrano, and in the subsequent Mark of Zorro by Fairbanks, Bernardo was played by Tote Du Crow.

I think Disney years later was the first to portray him as Spanish and Toth and Mcgregor followed suit at least in appearance, it made sense he had a Spanish name.
Allende in Zorro a Novel made him Native American again like the original, more specifically from the Chumash people; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chumash_%28tribe%29http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4e/Rafael%2C_a_Chumash_who_shared_cultural_knowledge_ with_Anthropologists.jpg/200px-Rafael%2C_a_Chumash_who_shared_cultural_knowledge_ with_Anthropologists.jpg
The son of an Indian worker in the De La Vega household he was given a Spanish name and essentially grew up and raised as Diego’s brother.

Whether Wagner references any of this remains to be seen ;)
