1.(Picture: Steven Spielburg. Connection: Mask of Zorro). Johnston McCulley (b. 1883, d. 1958) was the author of hundreds of stories, fifty novels, and numerous screenplays for film and television.
McCulley started as a police reporter for The Police Gazette and served as an Army public affairs officer during World War I. An amateur history buff, he went on to a career in pulp fiction and screenplays, often using a southern California backdrop for his stories.
His Zorro character was first serialized in the story "The Curse of Capistrano" in 1919 in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly in 1919. Many of his characters were inspirations for all masked-heroes of today. These include the Green Ghost, the Thunderbolt, and the Crimson Clown. Probably his second most popular character from the pulps was "The Black Star", a criminal mastermind who is pursued by Roger Verbeck-Flagellum and Muggs, a millionaire bachelor and his ex-thug partner.
