HACK/SLASH resurrects the Daddy-Daughter Death Squad of Jason Pearson's BODY BAGS
over 1 year ago – Fri, Jul 19, 2024 at 11:15:56 AM

Panda and Mack, the bounty hunting bad-asses created by legendary creator Jason Pearson return courtesy of Tim Seeley, Stefano Caselli, and Keven Gardner of 12 Gauge Studios in October 2024!

Body Bags began at Dark Horse Comics in 1996 with the series, Father's Day, and instantly became a cult hit. Several mini-series and one-shots followed. Pearson was working on new Body Bags material when he passed in December, 2022.

"Tim reached out a little over a year ago via our mutual friend, Cully Hamner (one of Jason’s former studio mates at Gaijin Studios), with the idea to do this crossover.," Said Pearson's freind and publisher, Keven Gardner. "To be honest, before talking with Tim, my initial reaction was, ‘probably not.’ This was about 6 months after Jason's passing, his mom was in the middle of settling his estate—it just wasn't something on her radar or mine. But, after I spoke with Tim it was immediately clear that he was a huge fan of BODY BAGS, that Jason's work had been a strong influence on him, and that this was something he and Stefano really wanted to do. We talked about possible ideas, and I could see how this could be something special," added Gardner.

"Body Bags by Jason is one of the biggest reasons I'm a comic book artist today." said Hack/Slash co-creator Stefano Caselli, who, along with artist Steve Kurth (G.I.Joe, Ultimate Iron Man), and colorist Sarah Mitrache (Hack/Slash: Back to School) will illustrate the four issue series..

"Ste told me about he and Jason's relationship, how they got to be friends and would Skype sometimes when they were both at their drawing tables, and how he wanted to help Jason's legacy live on by doing this crossover. As Ste talked about why he wanted to do this and his friendship with Jason, it really got to me emotionally. All the concerns I had about doing this without Jason just went away; I knew Mack and Panda were in good hands. Plus, Tim's idea for the story was so good—it's set over one night in Terminus, rightafter the initial BODY BAGS story from 1996 (Father's Day) ends," said Gardner.

The series launches at Image Comics, home to Hack/Slash since 2010, on October 23, 2024, and will available from your local comic shop.
