The initial series, simply entitled Body Bags, was a launch title for Dark Horse Comics' Blanc Noir line of books.
Produced by Gaijin Studios in 1996, Body Bags includes a large amount of blood, violence and characters who enjoy killing and cursing, which is displayed in a number of scenes in the book that have been deemed "shocking".
Following the death of Pearson in 2022, a crossover miniseries involving Body Bags and Hack/Slash, written and drawn respectively by Hack/Slash's creators Tim Seeley and Stefano Caselli was published by Image Comics starting in October of 2024.
[2] Set in the fictional city of Terminus, Georgia (which is named after the former name for Atlanta), Body Bags follows the contract-killing exploits of a Hispanic father & daughter team of "body baggers" (assassins) Mack Delgado (aka "Clownface"), a knife-wielding veteran of the business, and his overzealous and overly-busty teenage daughter, Panda Carmen Maria (sometimes rendered as "Carmenmaria").
The latest Body Bags installment, entitled 3 the Hard Way, features Panda solely dealing with a corrupt police detective who is really a crime-boss while cleaning out Mack's distinctive hot rod, "Da Boss".
