On Earth, a human was to be the ‘second parent’.Aboard the vessel named Kjell Sinn was the energy mass named Trikk Rhan, the son of Sicha Rhan and his mate Kjell Rhan.

A crash landing on Earth in a swamp caused the energy mass to release early. As it leaked out, the Sinn was the first contact as planned. But the energy mass of Trikk Rhan came into contact with a bullfrog. The result was a surly hero who enjoys fried chicken, caffeine and violence.

Razor (1992)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Everette Hartsoe first published Razor after founding London Night Studios with $1200 that he received in an income tax refund. With the book’s violent content and “pin-up friendly” artistic style, Razor is often considered part of the “bad girl” genre that rose in popularity during the early-mid-1990s. Razor Annual #1, published in 1993, contained the first appearance of Shi. Writer-artist Eric Powell‘s first paid job in comics was drawing three issues of Razor. The series also featured early artwork by Georges Jeanty. She had a Swimsuit Special in 1995 (a pin-up edition with various artists including Mike Wolfer).

Shaolin Cowboy (2004)

Posted on by EHT Comics

The book is about an unnamed former Shaolin monk who wanders the land with a talking mule named Lord Evelyn Dunkirk Winniferd Esq. the Third. Having been “asked” to leave the Shaolin temple, he has since had a bounty placed on his head, which many are eager to collect. Given the Shaolin Cowboy’s prowess in martial arts, however, this will be very difficult.

Taking place in an unspecified time setting (as the first issue notes, “the day after yesterday and a week before tomorrow”), the book features extremely detailed artwork and equally violent and absurd action scenes; in one, the main character battles a giant shark with a human head in its mouth using two chainsaws tied on the ends of a long stick – which all takes place in the canalization in the stomach of a lizard, on whose back a city is located.

Shi (1994)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Shi (Ana Ishikawa) is a comic book character created by writer/illustrator William Tucci. She first appeared in Razor Annual #1 (December 1993) and has appeared in numerous books by various publishers ever since, most notably Tucci’s own Crusade Comics and the Image Universe. Shi is a young woman of Japanese and American descent trained as a sohei warrior monk, who struggles to reconcile her Japanese grandfather’s martial training with her American mother’s Christian teachings. Japanese culture and spiritual themes are prominent, recurring motifs in storylines featuring her, especially as they pertain to this conflict.

The word shi literally translates to death (死) in Japanese, and Shi’s signature weapon is the naginata.
