SHI Links

    
      
Although most of this site is dedicated to the "Way of the Warrior" Era of Shi, I didn't want it to stagnate.  So I created this links page to keep up with changes for SHI.  While updating this page, I realize just how popular SHI realy has become worldwide. This is an impressive amount of links. But I only have listed web sites in English.  There are many other web pages out there on the net in other languages, which affirms that SHI is truly an international sensation.

Fan Appreciation Sites

UnOfficial SHI Website (Maida's SHI Page) This is the first SHI website I saw and the one that I believe inspired others, to include me. Tons of information including an extensive titles page with price guide/checklist, fantastic site. (give the SHI puzzle a try)

CRUSADE FAN  Absolutely fantastic site!  The definitive reference for SHI.  Best place to find covers and information. Largest selection of scanned covers on the net. You will find books and original art on this site that you will not find anywhere else.  If you collect SHI you must see this site - "This page is about comics by William Tucci, published by Crusade comics and featuring the character SHI".

The Comic Museum  This site has grown into one of the best places to find images of SHI books and original art. The east wing of the Comic Museum covers just about every aspect of SHI, another excellent reference site. Many images available here.

Online Data Bases Containing SHI

Wikipedia  Alright not a database, but it does have an excellent chronology of Shi books.  An a great summery of Shi in general. So it's a good reference, similar to a database.

CBDA Online searchable database. Contains information on SHI and crossovers. This is the best one I have been able to find.

The Big Comic Book Database  Difficult to use and I only found Shi: Ju-Nen plus a few cross overs. Not much for our favorite subject - SHI.

Comic Book DB  When I first looked here there was not much on Shi.  Now its growing into a great data base for Shi.

GCD Grand Comic-Book Database In general it includes information on creator credits, story details, and other information useful to the comic book reader and fan. When I looked, not much on SHI, hopefully that will change. Do a search for SHI by name of book.

 

 About The Movie

 Infromation on the SHI movie.


The greatly anticipated SHI movie has been rumored as far back as 1997. It has apparently gone through much planning. The information on the interment referencing what has taken place so far about the movie is rather scarce. I have put a few links here in the best chronological order I could to help shed some light on the status of the movie as of December 2005.
On Aug 13, 2002 - I heard from Mr. Tucci that Kevin Bernhardt and he are about to start on the screenplay. I was also told that SHI was optioned by Mimi Polk Gitlin and Mandolin Entertainment. So the SHI movie is coming along, progress is being made.  It takes time to do a movie right and I for one think it will be worth the wait.

The two links below from Comics2flim will give you a great chronological view of the history of events in bringing this movie together.
