Ms. Tree - crime noir series (Eclipse comics & others; 1981-1992)
I was a kid back in the '80's, and do remember seeing the crime noir/detective comic [I]Ms. Tree[/I] on shelves. It was written by crime author [I]Max Allan Collins[/I], and had superb art by [I]Terry Beatty[/I]. I didn't read/collect many issues at the time due to limited funds, but do remember paging through it & being impressed by the story/art. I do remember reading a [I]Ms. Tree[/I] story in a crime anthology several years back - good stuff here.
Here's more info. on the series:

There were a couple of Trades reprinting select issues back in the '80's - however, that was over 30 years ago.
I would definitely be onboard for a new series of Trades/HC's reprinting this entire series, i.e. roughly 50 issues. However, given that it was at several different comic publishers over the course of the title, I'm sure copyright issues would be a nightmare to wade through. That being said, hopefully we will get this at some point. I can't be the only one that has fond memories of this title ;)
