Jason Trent Pearson (August 29, 1970 – December 19, 2022)[1] was an American comic book creator, known for his series Body Bags and for his dynamic illustration work on books featuring characters such as the Legion of Super-Heroes, Spider-Man, Batman, and Deadpool. He was one of the founding members of Gaijin Studios.

Career

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.[2] He later described Giffen as one of his mentors.[3]

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.[4]

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.[3]

Pearson died December 19, 2022, of a stroke.[1]
