Johnston McCulley (1883-1958) was a police reporter before he
became proflic and successful writer for pulp magazines and for
Hollywood. His serial, "The Curse of Capistrano," published in
All-Story Magazine in 1919, made him world famous the following
year when the film version, starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., was
released under the title The Mark of Zorro. The rest, as they say,
is history. A total of sixty-five Zorro stories appeared in
subsequent decades, along with a great variety of non-Zorro
material, in such magazines as Argosy, and West. He virtually
invented the masked-avenger genre with such characters as the Green
Ghost, the Thunderbolt, and the Crimsoon Clown. His screen credits
extended over many years, from Brute Breaker (1919) to The Ice
Flood (1926) and Doomed Caravan (1941). "The Black Star" is an
exciting tale of crime and adventure, the first in a series.
