To celebrate the 100th anniversary of its publication, hosts John Cribbs & Christopher Funderburg dig into Johhston McCulley's THE CURSE OF CAPISTRANO, the serialized swashbuckling tale that spawned one of the genre's immortal heros - Zorro!

Strap in for an episode that covers the swashbuckling genre on the whole, from Douglas Fairbanks leaving his mark on Zorro to the Swishbuckler parodies of the late 70's/early 80's to the classic Dumas vs. Sabatini debate.
