Le réalisateur Quentin Tarantino avait révélé au Comic Con de San Diego qu’il travaillait pour l’éditeur DC Comics sur le scénario d’une mini-série de cinq épisodes basée sur son dernier film, Django Unchained. On sait maintenant que le dessinateur sera le croate R.M. Guéra, auréolé du succès de la série Vertigo Scalped qui vient de se terminer au bout de 60 épisodes.
Par ailleurs, le scénario de cette mini-série sera basé sur le script initial du film, c’est à dire que le comic book comportera toutes les scènes initialement prévues pour le film qui n’ont pas pu être gardées. Sortie du premier épisode le 5 décembre.
Quelques esquisses du dessinateur R.M. Guéra pour des personnages secondaires de Django Unchained:
En dehors des personnages interprétés par Christoph Waltz et Jamie Fox, le dessinateur a la liberté de réinterpréter graphiquement tous les personnages comme il l’entend.
Le premier épisode devrait sortir début décembre. En attendant, voici d’autres croquis représentant respectivement les personnages interprétés dans le film par Jamie Fox (Django) et Christoph Waltz (Doc King Schultz):
Et un autre croquis représentant le personnage Big Daddy:
