Launched in 1990, Shade, the Changing Man lasted for 70 issues, all written by Milligan. Bachalo was the artist for 38 of the first 50, with numerous other artists contributing as well. The series was brought under the Vertigo imprint with issue #33. Although the first 19 issues were collected in three trade paperbacks, the subsequent issues have never been reprinted in collected form.
Milligan and Tom Grindberg’s 1992 series Catwoman Defiant was included in DC’s first set of DC Finest reprint collections (see “‘DC Finest’ Collections”)
