In the modern era, Zorro may be thought of as the first masked adventurer. Created by
Johnston McCulley in his novel The Curse of Capistrano, which began its serialization in the
August 9, 1919, issue of All-Story Weekly (the same magazine that introduced Tarzan), Zorro
was the archetypal indolent rich laggard whose laziness and ennui were a cover for a
passionate fighter for freedom.—Danny Fingeroth, Superman on the Couch
