Exclusive First Look Inside Django / Zorro #1
We have an exclusive first look at some interior pages for Django / Zorro #1, the official sequel to the hit movie Django Unchained. The series is being written by Quentin Tarantino and Matt Wagner with art by Esteve Polls. Dynamite has gotten covers from Jae Lee and Francesco Francavilla.
Set several years after the events of Django Unchained, Django/Zorro #1 finds Django again pursuing the evil that men do in his role as a bounty hunter. Since there's a warrant on his head back east, he's mainly been plying his trade in the western states. After safely settling his wife, Broomhilda, near Chicago, he's again taken to the road, sending her funds whenever he completes a job. It's by sheer chance that he encounters the aged and sophisticated Diego de la Vega – the famed Zorro – and soon finds himself fascinated by this unusual character, the first wealthy white man he's ever met who seems totally unconcerned with the color of Django's skin… and who can hold his own in a fight. He hires on as Diego's "bodyguard" for one adventure and is soon drawn into a fight to free the local indigenous people from a brutal servitude, discovering that slavery isn't exclusive to black folks. In the course of this adventure, he learns much from the older man (much like King Schultz) and, on several occasions, even dons the mask and the whip… of The Fox!
Django / Zorro #1 will hit comic shelves on November 5th, which makes the final order cut off this Thursday. So if you want a copy, let your retailer now. For more information, click here.
