Shi - Through the Ashes

In 2002, William Tucci returned to his signature creation with Shi: Through the Ashes, a one-shot from Crusade Comics that revisits the warrior monk Ana Ishikawa. Written and illustrated entirely by Tucci, this issue stands as a focused, self-contained chapter in the ongoing saga of the character, offering a stark and personal story of survival and duty. While a brief entry in the larger Shi mythos, it exemplifies the creator-driven, independent spirit that has defined the series since its debut.
