Zorro (Spanish for ‘fox’) is a fictional character created in 1919 by American pulp writer Johnston McCulley, appearing in works set in the Pueblo of Los Angeles in Alta California. He is typically portrayed as a dashing masked vigilante who defends the commoners and indigenous peoples of California against corrupt and tyrannical officials and other villains. His signature all-black costume includes a cape, a hat known as a sombrero cordobés, and a mask covering the upper half of his face.

The Land That Time Forgot is a fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Caspak trilogy. His working title for the story was “The Lost U-Boat.” The sequence was first published in Blue Book Magazine as a three-part serial in the issues for August (vol. 27 #4), October (vol. 27 #6), and December (vol. 28 #2) 1918. The complete trilogy was later combined for publication in book form under the title of the first part by A. C. McClurg in June 1924. Beginning with the Ace Books editions of the 1960s, the three segments have usually been issued as separate short novels.

The landmark comics event of the year begins here, as two of literature’s best-loved and most action-packed properties meet in a crossover that was destined to happen: Zorro in the Land That Time Forgot! Licensed and fully-endorsed by Zorro Productions, Inc. and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., this astounding mini-series organically merges two different worlds in a story of action, intrigue, and prehistoric adventure that will have you cheering and on the edge of your seat! This lost world blockbuster is sure to thrill fans of Zorro, Edgar Rice Burroughs, dinosaurs, and romantic adventure in an all-new tale that follows in the footsteps of fantasy’s greatest authors.

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1A, Italian explorer Fausto Caproni leads an expedition to rediscover the fabled island continent of Caprona, first discovered by his grandfather but lost in the mists of time. On the eve of his embarkment from the port of La Reina de Los Angeles, Caproni has secured funding for his voyage from the Spanish government, as well as from the wealthy de la Vega family. But with a detachment of Spanish soldiers set to accompany Caproni, Don Diego de la Vega detects a nefarious plot…

Next in issue #2A, Diego – who is secretly the swashbuckling hero, El Zorro-stows away aboard the ship, and once they reach Caprona, Fausto, his sister Marina, the crew of the galleon Redenzione, the Spanish soldiers, and Zorro himself will find themselves thrust into a nightmare world of rampaging dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts that still roam in a land that time forgot!

Next in issue #3B, Trapped within the lost island continent of Caprona, explorer Fausto Caproni, his sister Marina, and the masked bandit El Zorro desperately search for one another after being separated in a land dominated by creatures from the dawn of time. As they each battle for their lives against rampaging dinosaurs and spear-wielding primitive humans, the trio will also have to contend with the Spanish soldiers who stalk them, intent on murdering all three to claim Caprona for the Spanish Empire.

Finally in issue #4A, As they battle for their lives against the prehistoric horrors of the lost world of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Caprona, Zorro, Captain Caproni, and Marina must use all of their wits and survival skills if they hope to escape the savage continent, because not only does Caprona want to kill them, so does the evil Captain Quintada and his troops, who seek their deaths in order to claim the lost world for the Spanish Empire.
