Jason Pearson's first published comics work was in 1991. His first and longest regular assignment, beginning that year, was working with
Keith Giffen on
Legion of Super-Heroes with scripters
Tom and Mary Bierbaum, and inker
Al Gordon. He later described Giffen as one of his mentors. He developed
Body Bags to be part of
Ground Zero, an anthology intended for
Image Comics, which did not pick it up. He produced a four issue mini-series which served in 1996 as the debut title for the Blanc Noir line of titles produced by Gaijin Studios for
Dark Horse Comics. In 1998, he began work on a sequel, which was interrupted by an illness.
Body Bags: 3 The Hard Way and
Body Bags: One Shot followed in 2005 and 2008. In 2015, Pearson ran a
Kickstarter funding campaign for a 96-page story ''Body Bags: Don't Die Until I Kill You'', raising $39,514, nearly double his goal of $20,000. After repeated delays, in 2022 he again promised that publication was imminent. Meanwhile, he illustrated individual issues and covers for books published by
Wildstorm,
Marvel, Dark Horse, and Image. He announced that he was writing and drawing a mini-series called
Redbird – intended to be the first of a trilogy – in 2004, but the project was not completed. ==Bibliography==
