==Publication history==
''Torso'' was originally published as a six-issue limited series by Image Comics. Bendis envisioned the comic as a historical true story which he turned into a graphic novel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TORSO Revisited ) March 19, 2012〕 ''Torso'' was written during Bendis' time as a struggling writer in his hometown Cleveland. His inspiration came while working as a cartoonist in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, where his editor gave him access to the Cleveland Torso Murders files. The files contained all of the visual evidences and testimonies, such as photographs, interviews and newspaper excerpts for Bendis to create the novel. His particular inspiration was that of a picture of a coroner examining a dismembered leg with a magnifying glass, which he described as "the opposite of CSI."〔 Besides the archives, Bendis and Mark also took information from Eliot Ness' own written interviews. He surmise their work during an interview:
In creating the atmosphere of the comic, Mark used historical photographs and documents combined with his black-and-white artwork to tell a unique noire-like story.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Friday Review: Torso ) January 25, 2002〕 Bendis and Andreyko presented their story in a straightforward cinematic fashion, with the occasional use of silent and repeated panels and sparse dialogue to create tension. The use of photography and clippings in the comic is also focused upon, with Marc's intention of presenting it like a film comic, creating a tone of realism.〔 Bendis also provided the art and lettering, as well as his trademark "sharp and contrast" dialogue he would later use in his future projects.〔
