The Body Trade is an unrelenting revenge story set against the backdrop of America’s aftermarket for dead bodies

Mad Cave Studios has announced an all new twisted crime series, The Body Trade, by critically acclaimed writer Zac Thompson, with inks by Argentinian artist Jok and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou; featuring cover B by Jacob Phillips.

Kim Krilic is a divorced ex-con who’s trying to atone. However, his short temper tends to get the best of him. When he returns to Florida to bury his estranged son, he’s sickened to find an empty grave. His son’s remains were sold into “The Body Trade”. Armed with righteous fury, Kim sets out to reclaim his child’s corpse. But one act of vengeance causes everything to spiral out of control. 

The Body Trade is an unrelenting revenge story set against the backdrop of America’s aftermarket for dead bodies. It’s a neo-noir crime thriller rife with bloodshed and brutality, in the tradition of Blue Ruin and Hell or High Water!

For fans of Vince Gilligan and Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers, The Body Trade #1 busts out Sept. 18th, and is now available for preorder.
