Nominated for the Eisner Award for Best Anthology, and created and written by Peter Gutierrez, SHI: KAIDAN sports an all-star cast of artists, (Billy Tucci, Michael Kaluta, Stan Sakai, David Mack, Jamal Igle, Val Mayerik and more) that pulls Ana Ishikawa and the reader through a terrifying collection of wicked, ghostly horror. This Limited Edition 25th Anniversary Special celebrates a dynamic quarter century of Shi and the perfect Halloween companion. 32-pages B/W with color cover.
“SHI: KAIDAN is the kind of comic I enjoy. Fun. Well-written and wonderfully drawn. A rarity today.”
