Curse of Capistrano

[MadMikeyD]

After I pointed out where to read the original Buck Rogers pulp stories in the Buck Rogers thread, I realized that I had never pointed out where you could read the original Zorro pulp story by Johnston McCulley. So here's a link to the original Zorro story, originally published in All-Story Weekly back in 1919:

The Curse of Capistrano; aka The Mark of Zorro (http://arthursclassicnovels.com/arthurs/mystery/zorro11.html)

FANTASTIC! Do you realize how hard it is to find a copy of this book? Hard. Thank you so much.

Johnston McCulley's original title was The Curse of Capistrano but he never explained why Zorro was called that. Neither has any other writer, TV series, or movie.... until now. My hopefully new radio drama will explain why Zorro was called The Curse of Capistrano. Which is why...

I am attempting to put together 2 full cast Zorro radio dramas authorized by Zorro Productions. One a disney style full-cast drama and the other a concluding episode radio drama for the New World Zorro series that starred Duncan Regehr. If you could help spread the word it would be very much appreciated. This is very close to becoming a reality but Zorro fans your help is needed!

Also please vote on the poll for the Zorro radio drama at

Thanks for your help.
