Après Batman, Murphy s’attaque à son « ancêtre » Zorro. Le renard rusé de Californie va ainsi à nouveau revenir sur le devant de la scène (alors que Le Masque de Zorro de Campbell vient juste de fêter ses 25 ans ces jours-ci), à l’occasion d’une série publiée à l’automne chez Massive Publishing.
“The idea for this book is Don Quixote meets Narcos, told in a contemporary setting,” Murphy said. “Diego is a young man who’s convinced that he’s Zorro—as a child, he had a psychotic break after witnessing the murder of his parents by the drug cartel in his village. To cope with the trauma, he embraces the 200-year-old legend of Zorro by putting on the mask, training with the sword, and waging a war against the Narcos to free his people.”
