17 new adventures featuring the Curse of Capistrano! In the early 1800s, California was still under Spanish rule. Some of the military commanders plundered and won riches at the expense of the peace-loving settlers. Against these agents of injustice the settlers were powerless, until one man arose whose courage stirred the hearts of Californians. He alone gave them the spirit to resist tyranny. That man was Zorro! The original masked hero clashes swords with military tyrants, werewolves, outlaw gangs, vampires, and other colorful malcontents in seventeen original stories created especially for this volume.
