Momentum continues for Crusade Comics’ latest crowdfunding campaign, the Shi: Senryaku Omnibus Edition. Backers from around the world have unlocked yet another Stretch Goal, the Joe Jusko Mini Print and making way for the next goal, The Jim Lee Pure Art Trading Card.
The card front features the legendary Jim Lee’s original “Cross the Sea Under the Concealment of Broad Daylight” black and white artwork, while the back reveals Hi-Fi Design’s striking final colors.
Known for his incredibly detailed and dynamic artistic style, Jim is one of the most revered and respected artists in American comics. A veritable legend in the industry, he has received numerous awards, accolades, and recognition for his work.
A longtime friend, inspiration and ally to Shi-creator Billy Tucci, Jim has graciously lent his talents and properties to several WildStorm and Crusade Comics projects including the critically acclaimed GRIFTER/SHI crossover. He currently serves as President, Chief Creative Officer, and Publisher of DC Comics.
“Jim was the first artist I asked to participate in the original Senryaku, and it was a dream come true that one of my comic book hero’s agreed!” Stated Billy Tucci. “Since then, Jim has become a great friend and ally. We’ve done crossovers with his creator-owned characters and Jim championed my work during my time at DC Comics.”
