Zdarsky And Anka’s ‘The White Trees’ Gets A New One-Shot Edition To Keep Up With Fan Demand

by Olly MacNamee

Writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Kris Anka have previously collected their fan-favourite fantasy series The White Trees in a one-shot. But that was a while ago now and with new interest in the world of Blacksands, there’s demand for a second printing from Image Comics with a new cover art by Anka.

“In the fantastical world of Blacksand, peace was hard-won, and three unbending warriors carry the scars to prove it. Now, almost twenty years later, their children are missing and war is on the horizon. Can they put aside their memories of the war—and each other—for one last adventure?”

Collecting The White Trees one-shot includes both The White Trees #1 and The White Trees #2 it provides readers with more insight into the Blacksand world they enjoyed in last week’s The Whisper Queen launch.

Speaking of this renewed interest in this series, Zdarsky said:

“I’m beyond excited that new readers are rediscovering this book [The White Trees] years later. I genuinely think it’s the best book I’ve ever been associated with, and I think our sequel, The Whisper Queen, continues that quality. I mean, Kris Anka and Matt Wilson are worth the price of admission alone!”

Anka added only:

“Hot damn!”
