More Episodes
The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Zorro on the 100th anniversary of his debut. He's kind of a quintessential hero, fighting for the people simply because he can. And though he's been active for most of the century, we wonder if maybe he doesn't get the love he deserves. We get into his creator, his movies and TV shows, his modus operandi, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual weird behavior and our picks of the week.
 
Announcements:
Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website
 
What we're up to this week:
Prep work for October - seekrit projects which should be fun
Not much this week - just take care of yourselves; also still on the Neil Gaiman audiobook
Big Bag o' Nothing - boring week
Meetup was successful - thanks to all who attended 🙂; also more seekrit projects 
 
Check out our sponsor page! Head to the website and click on the banners for Things From Another World! (Click through the TFAW banner on our site and we get a cut. Thank you!)
 
It seems a shame that we haven't seen any interest in a celebration, even an unofficial one, for Zorro's 100th birthday. But maybe someone will pick up the ball on it. We can hope, right? 🙂

Van Helsing vs Dracula's Daughter #1 (Zenescope)
Psycho List #1 (Blackbox Comics)
Monster World: The Golden Age #2 (American Gothic Press)
