The Masked Man Returns

Before there was Superman or Batman, and way before the X-Men or Spider-Man, there was Zorro. The 1920 classic The Mark of Zorro turned Denver-born Douglas Fairbanks into the first action movie star and arguably cast the mold for every masked avenger who followed. "Douglas Fairbanks was a swashbuckler. The image he portrayed in all of his movies was the superhero kind of thing," says Rhetta Shead, marketing supervisor for the Lakewood Cultural Center. "This is a fun movie to kind of showcase that side."
