Audrey Riccucci (Parente)
Hello THS class of'65. Audrey Riccucci Parente here..May I please share with you my latest work? Thanks for indulging me....
In the American pulp fiction magazines, Zorro was the first masked
vigilante hero to leap from rooftops, with cape flaring out behind, to
stand up for the underdog. For more than 100 years, he has moved through
time-changing faces and personalities, having new friends and enemies,
hiding his identity and revealing himself.
Zorro’s wholesome purpose and conviction have remained steady in
print, film and comics. The character created by Johnston McCulley
influenced future caped heroes, especially Batman, and that’s a fact. Zorro's influence has spread worldwide.
Fans have never quite gotten enough of Zorro, so they try to finish
old battles and romances and create new ones in fan fiction they share
with each other. Best-selling authors and established artists steal time
from their careers to dabble in an opportunity to create their version of
this iconic licensed and trade-marked character.
As editor at Bold Venture Press, I brought together 17 of those authors and 9
artists in a new volume. Participants are from all across the U.S.A., Canada,
Portugal, Italy, and Poland. Come watch as the first caped crusader
breathes new life into history, challenges old enemies, encounters mythical
creatures, fights the demons and finds humor in the scuffles with bad
guys. Welcome to ZORRO'S EXPLOITS, licensed by Zorro Productions and trademarked. The contents of the volume, available now, are rich with the exploits of the true first caped crusader, born in 1919 in the pulp fiction magazines. He comes alive and breathes new life into history, challenges old enemies, encounters mythical creatures, fights demons, and finds humor in scuffles with bad guys. ***https://www.boldventurepress.com/zorros-exploits/
