Bodies is a detective fiction comic book series that follows London detectives across four time periods as they investigate the death of what appears to be the same man. It was created and written by Si Spencer, and a different artist rendered each era.[1]

It was originally published as an eight-issue limited series[2] by Vertigo, a now-defunct imprint of DC Comics. It was first released in collected form in 2015 by Vertigo,[3] and again in 2023 by DC Comics.[4] A television adaptation of the same name premiered on Netflix in 2023.[5]
