Zorro has appeared in many different comic book series over the decades.  Zorro was adapted into comics in France in 1939 in ''Jumbo''.<ref>Jean-Jacques Gabut (2004). 'âge d'or de la BD: Les journaux illustrés 1934-1944. Herscher. 138 p. ISBN 9782733503683</ref> Its best-known artists were André Oulié (1947-1967), Eu. Gire (1949). 

In ''Hit Comics'' #55, published by [[Quality Comics]] in November 1948, Zorro is summoned by [[Kid Eternity]], but in this version has only a whip and does not wear a mask.<ref>[http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=14674 Hit Comics #55] Comic Book Plus</ref>

[[Dell Comics]] published Zorro in ''[[Four Color|Four Color Comics]]'' #228 (1949), 425 (1952), 497 (1953), 538 (1954), 574 (1954), 617 (1955) and 732 (1957). These stories featured artwork by [[Everett Kinstler|Everett Raymond Kinstler]] (#497, 538, and 574), [[Bob Fujitani]], Bob Correa and [[Alberto Giolitti]].<ref>{{Google books|n6zIngEACAAJ|title=Zorro: The Complete Dell Pre-Code Comics|page=|plainurl=}}</ref>

Dell also had a license to publish [[Disney comics]] in the United States and, following the launch of Disney's ''[[Zorro (1957 TV series)|Zorro]]'' TV series in 1957, published seven more issues of ''Four Color'' dedicated to Zorro between February 1958 and September 1959, under said license, with the first stories featuring artwork by [[Alex Toth]].<ref>[http://coa.inducks.org/issue.php?c=us/OS++882#01 One Shots No. 882] INDUCKS</ref> In December 1959, Dell started the publication of a standalone Disney-licensed ''Zorro'' title, which started the numeration at #8 and continued to be published until issue #15 (September 1961). The character then appeared in four stories published in the monthly ''[[Walt Disney's Comics and Stories]]'' (also published by Dell), one story per issue from #275 (August 1963) to #278 (November 1963): these were the last Zorro stories produced in the United States under the Disney license. However, [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] produced more stories from 1964 to 1978 through the [[Disney comics#Disney Studio Program|Disney Studio Program]], a unit producing comic book stories exclusively for foreign consumption.<ref>[https://inducks.org/comp2.php?code=S&keyw=&keywt=i&exactpg=&pg1=&pg2=&bro2=&bro3=&exactparts=&parts1=&parts2=&kind=nk&rowsperpage=0&columnsperpage=0&hero=&xapp=Zorro&univ=&xa2=&creat=&creat2=&plot=&plot2=&writ=&writ2=&art=&art2=&ink=&ink2=&excludeCZ=on&pub1=&pub2=&ser=&xref=&mref=&xrefd=&repabb=&repabbc=al&imgmode=0&vdesc2=on&vdesc=en&vus=on&sort1=s.firstpublicationdate Disney Studio stories featuring Zorro] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220223115621/https://inducks.org/comp2.php?code=S&keyw=&keywt=i&exactpg=&pg1=&pg2=&bro2=&bro3=&exactparts=&parts1=&parts2=&kind=nk&rowsperpage=0&columnsperpage=0&hero=&xapp=Zorro&univ=&xa2=&creat=&creat2=&plot=&plot2=&writ=&writ2=&art=&art2=&ink=&ink2=&excludeCZ=on&pub1=&pub2=&ser=&xref=&mref=&xrefd=&repabb=&repabbc=al&imgmode=0&vdesc2=on&vdesc=en&vus=on&sort1=s.firstpublicationdate|date=February 23, 2022}} at the [[Inducks|I.N.D.U.C.K.S.]].

From 1964 to 1967, Hans Kresse (art) and Joop Termos (script) offered unpublished stories to the readers of the Dutch youth weekly ''Pep''.

[[Gold Key Comics]] started another Disney-licensed ''Zorro'' series in January 1966, but, like their contemporaneous [[Lone Ranger]] series, it featured only material reprinted from the earlier Dell comics and folded after nine issues in March 1968. The character remained dormant in the United States for the next twenty years until it was revived by [[Marvel Comics]] in 1990 for a 12-issue tie-in with the [[Duncan Regehr]] television series ''[[Zorro (1990 TV series)|Zorro]]''. Many of these comics had Alex Toth covers.

In 1993, [[Topps Comics]] published a 2-issue [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] ''Dracula Versus Zorro'' followed by a ''Zorro'' series that ran 11 issues. Topps also published two limited series of ''Lady Rawhide'', a spin-off from the Zorro stories created by writer [[Don McGregor]] and artist Mike Mayhew.<ref>{{cite web |last=Johnston |first=Rich |title=The Return Of Lady Rawhide |website=Bleeding Cool |url=http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/05/15/the-return-of-lady-rawhide/ |date=May 15, 2013 |access-date=May 31, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Lady Rawhide |website=An International Catalogue of Superheroes |url=http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/l/ladyrawhide.htm/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130819163643/http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/l/ladyrawhide.htm |date=May 15, 2013 |access-date=May 31, 2013 |archive-date=August 19, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Lady Rawhide |website=Comics Vine |url=http://www.comicvine.com/lady-rawhide/4005-46821// |date=May 15, 2013 |access-date=May 31, 2013}}</ref> McGregor subsequently scripted a limited series adaptation of ''[[The Mask of Zorro]]'' film for [[Image Comics]].

A newspaper daily and Sunday strip were also published in the late 1990s. This was written by McGregor and rendered by [[Thomas Yeates]]. [[Papercutz]] once published a Zorro series and graphic novels. This version is drawn in a [[manga]] style.

[[Dynamite Entertainment]] relaunched the character with a 20-issue ''Zorro'' series which ran from 2008 to 2010, written by [[Matt Wagner]] and drawn by multiple artists. The publisher also released an earlier unpublished tale called "Matanzas" by [[Don McGregor]] and artist Mike Mayhew. Zorro (here a 1930s descendant) also appears in the 2013 Dynamite eight-issue limited series ''Masks'' alongside the [[Green Hornet]] and [[Kato (The Green Hornet)|Kato]], [[The Shadow]], and [[Spider (pulp fiction character)|The Spider]]. It was written by [[Chris Roberson (author)|Chris Roberson]] with art by [[Alex Ross]] and [[Dennis Calero]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Masks |work=www.comicvine.com |year=2013 |url=http://www.comicvine.com/masks/4050-54311/ |access-date=November 6, 2013}}</ref>

Dynamite Entertainment also published a seven-issue series titled ''Django/Zorro'' between November 2014 and May 2015, teaming Zorro with the character Django Freeman from [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s movie ''[[Django Unchained]]'' (2012). The series was co-written by Tarantino and Matt Wagner, with art by Esteve Polls.<ref>{{cite web |title=Django / Zorro |url=https://www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/viewProduct.html?CAT=DF-Django_Zorro |access-date=January 8, 2018}}</ref>

In 2018, American Mythology took the license, launched the series ''Zorro Legendary Adventures'', written by Jean-Marie Nadaud and drawn by Robert Rigot<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/recent-updates/zorro-and-edgar-rice-burroughs-return-in-american-mythology-august-2018-solicits/|title=Zorro and Edgar Rice Burroughs Return in American Mythology August 2018 Solicits|first=Rich|last=Johnston|date=May 23, 2018|website=bleedingcool.com}}</ref> and limited series ''Zorro: Swords of Hell'', written by David Avallone and illustrated by Roy Allan Martinez.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/40239/zorro-takes-supernaturalZorro|title=Zorro Takes on the Supernatural|first=Nicole|last=Bunge|date=24 April 2018|website=ICv2}}</ref> The company has since released crossovers featuring Zorro with their other licensed properties, namely ''Zorro in the Land that Time Forgot'' featuring Diego De La Vega accompanying an expedition to the lost world of [[Edgar Rice Burroughs#Caspak series|Caspak]] from the [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] novels.

In 2020, the French publisher [[Dargaud]] launched ''Don Vega'' by Pierre Alary.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-12-26 |title=Don Vega, v1: "Zorro" on the Border - PIPELINE COMICS |url=https://www.pipelinecomics.com/don-vega-v1-zorro-pierre-alary/ |access-date=2023-05-27 |website=www.pipelinecomics.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2023, it was announced that [[Sean Murphy (artist)|Sean Gordon Murphy]] would write and illustrate a four-issue miniseries for Massive Publishing entitled ''Zorro: Man of the Dead'', set for release in 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=2023-10-05 |title=Zorro: Man of the Dead Is 'Don Quixote Meets Narcos' |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/zorro-man-of-the-dead-preview-massive-publishing |access-date=2023-10-07 |website=IGN |language=en}}</ref>
