Bodé has completed and expanded upon many of his father's works. As a 15-year-old he colored the unfinished work "Zooks, the First Lizard in Orbit" for "Heavy Metal". In 1984 he expanded and illustrated "Cobalt 60", originally created as a short story by his father in 1968. Written by Larry Todd and fully painted by Mark Bodé, the story was serialized in "Epic Illustrated", and later collected by The Donning Company/Starblaze Graphics and re-published as a four-issue limited series by Tundra Publishing.
