Yesterday, over 3,000 pounds of palleted books arrived at the Crusade Comics offices for the indie publisher’s latest crowdfunded project, the Shi: Way of the Warrior #1 Original Art Edition. “Unboxing of your product and holding it in your hand for the very first time is the definitely most exciting part of publishing.” Stated Shi-Creator Billy Tucci. “Even after thirty-years, the sense of wonder, pride and accomplishment of gazing at a new book still gives my stomach butterflies.”
As Tucci and crew gear up for next week’s fulfillment, momentum continues forward for the premium-formatted, 112-page Hardcover. Shi: Way of the Warrior #1 Original Art Edition’s #NoFanLeftBehind dual-campaign strategy on both Indiegogo and Kickstarter platforms have exceeded $105,000.00 and has unlocked FIVE Stretch Goals:
• Enlarging the books dimensions to Omnibus Size.
• Added gold foil and spot gloss enhancement to the covers.
• Added spot gloss enhancement to the covers.
• A premium stock wraparound dust jacket.
• A sewn-in, satin bookmark ribbon.
