One afternoon, the peace was shattered by the leather snap of a whip biting into human flesh. Blood trickled down a man's back in rivulets and fell in large drops into the sand. Another whip flashed, as soldiers administered punishment to their prisoners. At that same time, a stagecoach en route from San Pedro carried a handful of passengers - including the Irish Colonel. When the coach arrived at Reina de los Angeles, would the Colonel prove a savior or despot to the citizens? Was he friend or foe to the man called Zorro? In the pueblo of Los Angeles California, nearly 200 years ago, a dread malady had crept in - the disease of oppression. Then - out of the mystery of the unknown - appeared a masked rider who patrolled the great el Camino Real highway. He alone inspired the people to rise up and resist tyranny. That man was Zorro!

Cinema of Swords is a history, guide, and love letter to over four hundred movies and television shows featuring swashbucklers: knights, pirates, samurai, Vikings, gladiators, outlaw heroes like Zorro and Robin Hood, and anyone else who lives by the blade and solves their problems with the point of a sword. Though swordplay thrives as a mainstay of current pop culture—whether Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings or Star Wars—swashbuckling was if anything even more ubiquitous during Hollywood’s classic period, from its foundations in the Silent Era up through the savage bursts of fantasy films in the ‘80s. With this huge cinematic backlist of classics now available online and on-demand, Cinema of Swords traces the roots and branches of this unruly genre, highlighting classics of the form and pointing fans toward thrilling new gems they never knew existed. With wry summaries and criticism from swordplay expert Lawrence Ellsworth, this comprehensive guidebook is perfect as a reference work or as a dazzling Hollywood history to be read end-to-end.

Written and illustrated by Heather Victoria Anderson Cover by Francisco Silva An adventure for children! Bullying creates, in some people, a desire to crush it. Often a champion arises - sometimes an imaginary one - whether it be a group of avengers or one superhero. In the pueblo of Los Angeles California, nearly 200 years ago, a bad behavior had crept in - bullying began. Then - out of the mystery of the unknown - appeared a boy who promised himself when he grew up, he would always fight the bullies with clever ways and not be a bully himself. He grew up to fight all injustice. He inspired the people to rise up to resist cruelty. That man became the first masked superhero ... Don Diego de la Vega, son of a wealthy landowner and rancher, is frustrated by injustice and oppression. But at the age of nine, those terrible ideas take the form of an unforgiving bully and the ease with which he escapes punishment. Indeed, Diego and his friend Victoria Escalante are scolded or punished for Esteban's misbehavior. Then the bully of the pueblo tries to make Diego and Victoria look bad to the resident padre. Diego decides to fight back. If he cannot use his fists, he will use his brain to turn the tables. In that moment, the seeds of a legend are sown ...
