Did anyone add Ghost Rider to the list?

Or even Zorro for a near-Mexican setting?

Zorro battles Dracula in one of the "original" stories.

Gracias,

Glenn

For the love of God somebody make an old west Ghost Rider!!!
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

I hope that they used a pseudonym.  Dracula is in the public domain now, but Johnston McCulley, Zorro's creator, only died in 1958, so Zorro remains in copyright until 2028 in the EU.  I have a horrible feeling that the rights are owned by Condé Nast, who are famously hard IP enforcers.
Back from the dead, almost.

By "original" I meant not by McCulley.  Sorry to confuse...

"... He also encounters the vampire Dracula in Spain and France. (This story appears in the Topps Comics miniseries Dracula vs. Zorro)..."

My mistake - the Topps series was fully licensed.  I was worried that there might be some Empire of the Dead original fiction that might end up being pulped.

No, my mistake.  I forgot the old nugget from Churchill about American (well, Californian, fer sure,)  and British English plus the poor designation of verbal cues in the written word.
