The Mark of Zorro audio drama review by Audiofile

THE MARK OF ZORRO
Johnston McCulley, Yuri Rasovsky
Read by Val Kilmer and a Full Cast

Cunning, suave, fearless, and a friend to the poor, the masked El Zorro first appeared in the pulp magazine ALL-STORY WEEKLY in 1919. This sparkling full-cast audio adaptation of the original short story, "The Curse of Capistrano," provides the sounds of plenty of swords clashing and bullets ricocheting. Where the real sparks fly is in the wonderfully honed playful dialogue, performed by an A-List Hollywood cast. Val Kilmer uses subtle vocal changes to play both the aristocratic idler Don Diego de la Vega and Diego’s alter ego—the dashing El Zorro, who easily bests the villainous and foolish Captain Ramon and Sergeant Gonzalez, played with great energy by Keith Szarabajka and Meshach Taylor. But Zorro is no match for the stinging words of the lovely, proud Lolita Pulido, played with fiery grace by Ruth Livier. Good-natured fun.

Dynamite Comics - The Death of Zorro

Len Katz, co-owner of The Joker's Child revealed the top five comics at the Free Comic Book Day in Fair Lawn, N.J.

Katz’s final and fifth pick is from Dynamite Entertainment and features a meet up of the two most famous masked men in comics—Zorro and the Lone Ranger with their comic “Zorro is dead. As Don Diego's widow struggles to cope with the loss, help arrives in the form of two younger heroes: The Lone Ranger and Tonto. In part two of this five issue series, the source of the link between Zorro and The Lone Ranger is revealed. The Ranger has personal ties to the legend known as Zorro—ties that demand vengeance,” said Dynamite Entertainment.

Katz said this is a great issue. “You don’t see this everyday,” he said. “The Lone Ranger and Zorro sort of have a team-up and it’s actually pretty good reading.”
