The first comic book sequel ever for a Quentin Tarantino film, Django/Zorro is slated to debut on November 12th.  The series is based on a story written by Tarantino and veteran comics creator Matt Wagner.  In Django/Zorro #1, which was announced in June (see "Quentin Tarantino to Co-Plot 'Django/Zorro' Crossover") and features interior art by Esteve Polls and covers by Jae Lee (main) and Francesco Francavilla (variant), is set several years after the events of Tarantino’s stylish anti-slavery western, and finds Django plying his trade as bounty hunter in the West.
 
By chance Django meets the aged and sophisticated Diego de la Vega, and eventually joins forces with Zorro to free a local indigenous tribe after he discovers that slavery isn’t exclusive to black people.  In the course of events Django must also don the mask and the whip and ride as Zorro.
 
Tarantino, who had his screenplays adapted into s comic before, but who had never signed on for a sequel to any of his works in any medium, was immediately intrigued by the concept of a Django/Zorro comic, telling the crowd at Comic-Con: "I loved the idea. One of the things that I liked so much, I grew up reading western comics and entertainment in general, whether it was the Zorro comics, or the Disney show, or Zorro's Fighting Legend. What I thought was such a great idea was taking the most famous fictional Mexican western hero, and putting him together with one of the most famous black western heroes."
 
Tarantino also noted that Jamie Foxx was enthused at the continuation of Django, telling the Comic-Con crowd (as reported in The Guardian): "I bumped into him (Foxx) a few months ago and he thought it was a fantastic idea.  He was like: "Can we make a movie of this?  I'm their man.  Let's get Antonio.  Let's do this."
 
The 32-page, full color, Django/Zorro #1 will have a cover price of $3.99 and go on sale on November 12th.
