Crusade Issues An Expanded "Gremlin Effect: Greminology"

Crusade Fine Arts is proud to announce the size of "Gremlin Effect: Gremlinology" has been quadrupled from its original 24 pages to Trade-Sized 80 pages. The page count expansion is due to the inclusion of Billy Tucci's original full-length screenplay and a supplemented CGI modeling section by John Vilardi ("some trouble of a SeRRious nature").

Shi creator Billy Tucci's all new comic project will retain its original $4.99 price tag and its content beautifully illustrated by Tucci and renowned painter Mark Sparacio.

"Gremlinology" focuses on the intricacies of these mischievous spirits of tools and machinery who have been soured by man's lack of recognition in helping with his greatest inventions. It is summer 1940 and the Gremlins of Hootonshire on the Isle of Wight have been "invaded" by the Royal Air Force, and they're not about to let a little thing like The Battle of Britain get in the way of their revenge! The Gremlin masses will now enact a Gremlin Effect, devoting all their time and talents plaguing the RAF during the world's most desperate days…all of them, that is, but one. Can one Gremlin make a difference in freedom's "finest hour?"

"Gremlin Effect: Gremlinology," a black and white comic from Crusade Fine Arts, is a primer for Crusade's new "Gremlin Effect" property. Hollywood's continuing enthusiasm for "Shi," solid interest in other Crusade properties, and the award-winning success of his first short film, "some trouble of a SeRRious nature," lead Tucci to test the waters now.

"The experience of doing some trouble…, and the long road to getting the Shi movie made have taught me a lot," Tucci said, "and I think that with its crafty combination of fantasy and humor the comic market is ready for a book like Gremlin Effect."
