KUSA - Fans of the film Django Unchained and the film's award-winning director/screenwriter can read the original script in its entirety in a new DC comic book adaptation.

Quentin Tarantino's original screenplay has been adapted by producer Reginald Hudlin and drawn by R.M. Guera and Jason Latour. The creators say the six-issue Vertigo comic book series extends the movie experience for those who want more.

They say readers can immerse themselves in the original story, as Tarantino first drafted it, in a whole new way by experiencing scenes that may not have made it to the film, much like 'deleted extras' on a film's DVD. 

" Creating the comic book adaptation of Django Unchained has given Vertigo a fantastic opportunity to extend the experience of Quentin's brilliant screenplay and enable his characters to live on past the movie," according to Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment.

The first two issues are already out. The third one is due March 27th.  Learn more by visiting:
