Shi / Vampirella

In 1997, Crusade Comics brought together two of its flagship heroines for a single-issue crossover, Shi / Vampirella, written by Warren Ellis. The story pairs the mystical warrior Shi with the otherworldly vampire Vampirella, blending martial arts mythology with supernatural horror. Artists Andrew Wendel, Ho Tze Chung, and Jason Orfalas contributed to the visual style of this team-up, which stands as a brief but notable meeting of two distinct pulp-inspired characters from the '90s independent comics scene.
