Shi: The Way of the Warrior

    (Crusade, 1994-1997)
™ and ©1995 William Elliott Tucci

Secretly trained in Japanese warrior arts by her grandfather, Ana Ishikawa has come to New York to finally fulfill her vow and avenge the brutal murder of her father and brother. But Ana has an inner struggle she has to face each time she goes into to battle, because although she grew up and was educated in her father’s country, Japan, she was raised by her American expatriate mother, a missionary dedicated to peace. Ana tries to find compromise in using her training to save the innocent from criminal predators, but also regrets that she has to use violence to do so.

Although it’s often grouped with “bad girl” titles of the 1990s, such as Razor, Lady Death, and Cry for Dawn. Shi: The Way of the Warrior, transcends the genre, not only in its characterizations, but also in its subtle blending of Western and Eastern art, philosophy and history.
