ZORRO The Original Action Adventure Hero

Before there was Indiana Jones. Before there was James Bond. Before The Lone Ranger. Before Batman, Superman, Spiderman, or Ironman. Before Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader met in a galaxy far, far away. Before James T. Kirk stepped aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. There was ZORRO. 

Zorro is the original action-adventure hero. A handsome caballero consumed by art, poetry, and science by day and a sword-wielding, whip cracking, hero by night. Dressed all in black Zorro fights the tyranny, injustice, and oppression of wealthy landowners and corrupt government officials of Spanish California. He races up and down El Camino Real (The King's Highway) on his coal-black horse at breakneck speed to come to the aid of those in need or to outrun the soldiers who chase after him. While his enemies dream of ending his exploits by running him through with their blade or hanging him with a rope, his dashing and daring escapades ignite romance and passion in the hearts of the beautiful senoritas. Like the treacherous men who pursue him, they too dream of unmasking this fearless rogue. Only, they desire his affections and not his life. 

In recent years, Zorro has returned in all-new stories, both in print and in audio. Read or listen as Zorro outwits vile, scheming men. duels the most skilled swordsmen and romances the most beautiful ladies in all California.

New Print Series and Website from Duncan Regehr

 

Duncan Regehr 

Acclaimed Zorro actor and artist, Duncan Regehr, announces a new print series and website. 

The Forgotten Woman - Duncan's latest series: 

Women need to remember their own forgotten woman. -  Anne Graves

Many pass through the world haven hidden, quelled, or sacrificed essential aspects of self and by choice or by force of circumstance adopt alternative ways of being. Some leave behind the spirit they knew well in childhood. Some retain a secret self. Others remain invisible to themselves throughout life. Unacknowledged and unobserved by the world, they are forgotten.

Contrasting color schemes are integral to the theme of "The Forgotten Woman". Female figures appear separated from their environments, yet suspended within them. Remote greyish backgrounds magnify their vibrancy. As with "The Lost Man" series, the vivid figures are the polar opposites of their surroundings.  - Duncan Regehr
