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.

Official SHI Site

Official SHI Website The original official SHI website was www.shiweb.com, that site is no more. It has been replaced with a all new high tech site found at www.crusadefinearts.com or www.williamtucci.com This site has it all - an online store (now accepting PayPal), gallery, fan forum, news and allot more.

Fan Appreciation Sites

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.

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 July 2010.
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.

Most of the links below no longer work. I'm going to leave them as a reference.


Comic Book Resources Contained in an announcement for the release of a book "Definitive SHI" movie info on movie is mentioned. "
Tucci and Kevin Bernhardt are currently writing the screenplay for Shi - The Motion Picture for producer Mimi Polk Gitlin's Lion Eyes Entertainment. Actress Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Memoirs of a Geisha) is attached to star." Article dated 21 Dec 2005.
