I love this cover to Ms. Tree: One Mean Mother<\/a>.\u00a0 Ms. Tree was a comic series created by Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty that first appeared back in the 1980’s!<\/p>\n

I have to admit I didn’t get the title’s pun until my buddy, Jim Ivey pointed it out to me: Ms. Tree = Mystery.\u00a0 He thought I was messing with him, but I truly missed it.\u00a0 At any rate, Ms. Tree tales are being reprinted by Hard Case Crime.\u00a0 Here’s how the first is being solicited…<\/p>\n

\n

When her private detective husband is murdered by the Muerta crime family, Ms. Tree takes over the business! Cold, calculating, and tough as nails, no case is too small, no violence too extreme, so long as a mystery is solved… and Ms. Tree is paid.<\/p>\n

The creation of award-winning crime and comics writer Max Allan Collins (Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, Road To Perdition, Quarry’s War), illustrated by co-creator and pulp legend Terry Beatty (Johnny Dynamite, Mike Danger, Rex Morgan M.D.)!<\/p>\n

Collects five classic Ms. Tree stories for the first time since the ’80s, plus the rare Ms. Tree prose story “Inconvenience Store”!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
