It’s the final weekend to back Crusade Comics’ ninth Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaign’s for The Shi #1 30th Anniversary Original Art Edition.
Since its launch last month, the special hardcover The Shi #1 30th Anniversary Original Art Edition #NoFanLeftBehind duel campaign strategy approaches $70,000.00 and has unlocked four Stretch Goals, enlarging the books dimensions to Omnibus Size, adding gold foil and spot gloss enhancement to the covers and a premium stock wraparound dust jacket exclusive to backers.
Crusade has just announced the campaign’s next Stretch Goal, the sewn-in, satin bookmark ribbon. Due to the publisher’s #NoFanLeftBehind, both Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers will mutually benefit from each platform with combined stretch goal rewards.
Celebrating Thirty-Year’s of Billy Tucci’s multi-Eisner Award nominee, the 30th Anniversary Original Art Edition is the complete and seminal “Story of Shi”. A 112-page, hardcover coffee table sized collection that is literally 30-years in the making. The omnibus-sized tome contains the complete and remastered original 32-page, Shi: Way of the Warrior #1 plus over seventy additional original pencils/inks and hand-painted colored interior pages, cover designs, and insight into creative process and development.
