Zorro #1 Cover by Jorge Fornes (Art Not Final)
Alien Books has announced two Zorro miniseries coming in 2026.
The first, titled simply Zorro, is by writer Howard Chaykin and artist Jorge Fornés and due April 2026. In it, the masked avenger Don Diego de la Vega will face Napoleon Bonaparte.
Said Chaykin, “I grew up with Zorro, the television series, the comics, the Fairbanks and Power pictures–and loved them all. I’m delighted to have had the opportunity to tell a Zorro story that takes our hero on an adventure a world away from the hills of San Capistrano.”
Zorro’s Legacy #1 Cover by Aaron Lopresti (Art Not Final)
The second miniseries, Zorro’s Legacy, is by writer Dan Abnett and artist Aaron Lopresti and launches June 2026. It stars a modern-day descendant of Zorro in Los Angeles who has just discovered his legacy. It’s described as for “fans of mature street-level stories.”
Alien announced they had obtained comic rights to the Zorro license from Zorro Productions, Inc. in April (see “Alien Books Gets Zorro“). Alien Books publications are sold into comic shops via IDW Publishing (see “IDW to Distribute Alien Books“).
