In 2014 and 2015, Vertigo published Si Spencer’s eight-issue graphic novel Bodies, a mind-bending mystery about four police officers from different historical eras who discover the same corpse in the same London location, decades apart. Featuring detectives from the present day, the 1940s, the 1890s and 2053, it’s a complex conspiracy thriller about a very dark future. Originally illustrated by four artists – Dean Ormston, Phil Winslade, Meghan Hetrick and Tula Lotay – each era had its own distinct feel and look.
Spencer, who had also written on other Vertigo titles including Judge Dredd and Books of Magick: Life During Wartime, sadly passed away in February 2021, meaning he wasn’t able to see Paul Tomalin’s eight-part Netflix series adapted from his work. It’s out now, with a sprawling cast of characters including Boiling Point and This Is England’s Stephen Graham, several established actors and a handful of newcomers. Here’s more about them.

Bodies episode 4 opened with Hasan discussing the name “Hillinghead” with Maggie, who discovered by running a search on the name that there was no bricklayer in the name of Hillinghead. Alfred Hillinghead was revealed to be a detective inspector who worked in Whitechapel in 1890. Hasan began to delve deeper into Hillinghead’s identity and tried to find the archive files from 1890. In one of those 1890 case files, Hassan discovered a newspaper clip of this same deceased man being found in Longharvest Lane. However, not only that, but the records manager showed Hasan something that she couldn’t ignore. It was the 1941 case file of that same naked, deceased body being found in Longharvest Lane. While in 1890 the investigator was Alfred Hillinghead, in 1941 the investigator was Charles Whiteman, and it was his last case. Hassan began to believe in every word that Elias Mannix had told her.
