When I got back into comics a dozen years ago (or so), one of the first indie titles I collected and read was the Airboy series from Eclipse Comics. After finishing that, I sought other Eclipse titles I might enjoy. Ms Tree was one of the stories that debuted in the Eclipse Magazine anthology series. This trade paperback collects stories published by Renegade Press before the author went on to write Road To Perdition and the artist went on to draw Batman. Here's all the info from Titan Comics:

From the minds of award-winning author Max Allan Collins and artist Terry Beatty, comes the sixth collection of classic Ms Tree stories, collected together for the first time!

Now let's take a look inside:
As you can see, individual issues were printed in Black & White with one color. This allowed the publishers to keep the price low for readers, which in turn aided the series' longevity. While capitalizing on the 1980s B&W boom, it also lends a timeless appeal to this noir crime series!
Ms Tree: Fallen Tree is on sale November 19, 2024 at bookstores, comic shops and digital.
Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million and Forbidden Planet for UK.
