12 x 17The legendary Body Bags, a comic bursting with bounty hunters and cold-blooded killers with an energy never seen before, was created by a singular talent--Jason Pearson! Each page of this modern comics masterpiece was written and drawn by Pearson, who considered the story of Mack (aka Clownface) and Panda the body of work that would most define his legacy. This Artist’s Edition of Jason Pearson’s crowning achievement, Body Bags, collects the entire groundbreaking miniseries, plus short stories, covers, promo pieces, and more! Also included are scanned photocopies of Mchael Golden’s covers from the original Body Bags miniseries. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. The Artist’s Edition of Jason Pearson’s work is an art book disguised as a comic collection. The only better way to see these pages is by looking over Pearson’s shoulder at his drawing board!

From the fan-favorite co-creators behind SPREAD comes a brutal blend of horror, sci-fi, and survival. Thirty years ago, we unleashed demons into the world.
