The Curse of Capistrano is a serialized novel by Johnston McCulley and the first work to feature the fictional Californio character Zorro zorro is the Spanish word for fox.
It would be later published as a book in under the title The Mark of Zorro. The Curse of Capistrano was originally appeared as a serialized novel in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly in After the success of the film The Mark of Zorro the next year, the novel was rereleased by the publisher Grosset and Dunlap under the name The Mark of Zorro.

The Curse of Capistrano - The Beginnings of the Zorro Legend The Curse of Capistrano is the very first book to feature Zorro, one of the heroes of our childhood games and one of the true heroes of literature and film.
