Hi guys,
The penultimate chapter of Zorro's origins came out today: things are escalating as the two timelines are aligning toward the explosive (and I am not talking figuratively here ;)) finale in the next issue (out in October).
Till then I hope you all enjoy what Matt and I have cooked for you and this 2 pages B/W preview :)
Cheers,
Francesco

Nice pages, and that image with his shadow is amazing!!
I just my hands on a copy of #7, and it looked great Francesco. That double page spread is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long while. If Dynamite doesn't make some kind of poster of it, they're nuts. I'd buy it in a second.
Hey now...whipping monks just isn't right! Whipping cream, however....mmm-mm!)
I have to say again Francesco, your art really makes this story sing. Obviously a labor of love! Congrats to you, sir!

Can I say, not for the first time, how much I love this book. When I heard you were the artist I thought, well yes, of course, that makes sense, and you have not disappointed.
i agree with rory on the zorro shadow image. stunning. iconic actually.
i like the wanted poster partial hidden by the zorro wanted poster. pretty low reward for that f.f. fella.
beautiful work. i am heading off with my son for our weekly comic run and will pick up my copy.
the sad part of this is that there is very little for a 11 year old to pick up and read. one of the sad states of the comic book industry. luckily he likes sonic and naruto.
great work Francesco.
Rory: thank you so much :) I was happy with how turned out as well ;)
Evan: thank you, glad you enjoyed the book and, particularly, that double spread: I had to do a few takes before getting to that final shot :)
Dave: HA! Yeah, whipping cream is good, alright ;) Thank you, and yes, I did put a bit of my heart in this :)
Greg: Thank you, and I am so happy to hear I didn't disappoint the expectations :)
Ilia: thank you! :) Yeah, I am not worth that much... in pesos ;) I think Zorro can be a good read for your son too: I am trying to keep it pg everyone, on the visual front.
Cheers,
Francesco
Francesco,
I located this website of yours quite by accident, while looking for Zorro pulp art. But, I'm delighted I found it! I've been collecting, reading and enjoying everything Zorro for over 40+ years!
The Dynamite Entertainment Zorro series is fantastic, and I love your work on The Black Coat as well!
I do have one question, that I would be very pleased, if you'd be so kind to answer.
The one thing that is missing, for me, is Zorro's trade mark mustache!
It may (seem) like a small thing, but it isn't to me.
Most fictional comics heroes are clean-shaven.
Zorro's mustache is one of the unique things about him that makes him my # 1 favourite fictional character of al time. Will Zorro, in the Dynamite Entertainment comics series, ever grow his trademark mustache?
I don't, of course, mean the fake mustache that Don Diego de la Vega is currently wearing, when he is NOT Zorro.
Let me know, please?
Thanks,

Hey Phil,
sorry for the late reply, I just found out about your post.
First: thank you so much for the kind words, I am glad you have enjoyed the books so far :)
As for the mustache, I think you need to ask Matt Wagner: he is in charge of the story and the look (as Art Director) of the character. Sadly I am not informed on the future look of our beloved hero ;)
Cheers,
Francesco
