Zorro: The Lady Wears Red is my first time with the graphic version of the famous masked, sword-wielding bandit of old California. Like many, my knowledge of Zorro is limited mostly to the recent movies (one great, one fair) starring Antonia Banderas, although I do have vague memories of watching black-and-white reruns of an old TV series in my childhood.
The action is thrilling and the dialogue is even better. This is a crisp, fun story that deserves to come back into print, and soon. The only problem in this case is that, despite the fine artwork by Mike Mayhew, the book would only improve with color.
I'm not opposed to black-and-white comics as a rule; the technique can be quite effective and artistic. But the action, costumes and scenery here all fall a little flat without color. Otherwise, this is a highly recommended package.

Before Batman, before all the other masked vigilantes to follow in his footsteps, the masked adventure known as Zorro meted out justice and aided the oppressed. Set in the early days of Spanish California these four volumes recapture the swashbuckling derring-do of the first masked vigilante: Zorro. Fans of westerns, high-romance and adventure will find their palates satiated with these volumes from some of today's greatest creators.Zorro: The Lady Wears Red - Zorro meets Lady Rawhide.A woman who steals his heart, but wants it on the end of her sword!
