Zorro Annual #1

NO ONE CAN BE TRUSTED!

When a notorious killer escapes the Santa Bárbara presidio and assumes the identity of a stagecoach passenger, every soul aboard becomes a potential victim! With Bernardo trapped among strangers and a gang of ruthless bandits closing in, Zorro must race across the California desert to stop a massacre before it's too late.

Murder, mystery, and swashbuckling action collide as the Fox faces one of his most dangerous adventures yet. By journey's end, not everyone will survive... and justice will have to ride faster than death itself!

In a pure comic book tradition, Zorro Annual #1 welcomes guest writer Rodolfo Santullo and artists Matías Bergara and Magenta King. And as a bonus, rediscover a classic Zorro short story by the legendary Alex Toth!
