So far one volume has been published jointly by 12-Gauge and {{Image}} in trade paperback form, as well as two "one-shot" paperbacks - the aptly-named ''Body Bags One-Shot'' and ''Body Bags: 3 The Hard Way''. Unusually for such a short-running series, a set of Clownface and Panda action figures have also been produced.

* {{Badass}}: Clownface and the Wolf Spiders.

* BigBreastsBigDeal: Panda Delgado is a Type 3 with a little of Type 4. She's petite with huge breasts and wears tight, revealing outfits. But when Junior Scorcese grabs her buttocks and comments on how "all that fat went to your ''boobs''", she beats seven shades of shit out of him.

* InfantImmortality: Averted. See CompleteMonster, above.

* SociopathicHero: Clownface and Pops just barely qualify. See CompleteMonster, above.
