Dead Corps, subtitled Dead Corpse is a four-issue comic book mini-series published in 1998 under the short-lived DC Comics imprint, Helix. Written by Christopher Hinz and illustrated by Steve Pugh, the story is set in a near-future earth where medical technology has opened the possibility for the re-animation of human beings and the dead play an active but sometimes unwilling role in everyday society. The title met with little success commercially as it was published by Helix some time after the cancellation of the entire imprint had been announced.
