It’s the final nine hours to back Crusade Comics’ ninth Kickstarter campaign 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 on both the Kickstarter and Indiegogo crowdfunding platforms approach $90,000.00 and has unlocked FIVE Stretch Goals:
• Enlarging the books dimensions to Omnibus Size.
• Adding gold foil and spot gloss enhancement to the covers.
• A premium stock wraparound dust jacket.
• A sewn-in, satin bookmark ribbon exclusive to backers.
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.
