Hi everyone!
Happy New Year! It has been quite a busy holiday season (full of ups and downs), and we admittedly have gotten super-sidetracked with everything going on since... We have been pushing for an update on the International order shipping, and finally got a report this week:
All US and North American orders have shipped! If you haven't gotten yours check to see if your Backerkit survey is complete, or email [email protected].
UK/EU orders have arrived at the UK hub warehouse and should hopefully start shipping out next week! Frankly, 2 of the 4 palettes were received a couple of weeks ago, but for some reason, the other 2 were held up in customs this whole time... we don't know why or why they were separated, but they are now all reportedly at Zatu's warehouse and they should be processed right away. You should receive an Address Verification email soon in case you need to update your delivery address. If we can get notice of that mailing before they go out, we will let you know. Otherwise, if you need to update your address, please email [email protected] and reach out to https://www.qmlogistics.com/contactUs.html with the request asap to be safe.
AU/NZ order inventory should reach Aetherworks early next week, and they'll get those orders turned around as soon as they can. I imagine that should be within the next 1-2 weeks.
ASIA order inventory has been received at VFI, but unfortunately, a lot of centers and carriers have already closed down for Chinese New Year, so these may not go out until they get back from the holiday. We'll keep you posted as soon as we have confirmation.
I know it has been a long wait, but it's nearly over. Things have been a real rollercoaster and minefield since Thanksgiving, but we're on the other side of it all and taking this opportunity to clear our minds for the year ahead. We have lots planned, and want to make sure you're all pleased and appreciated for your generous support.
We're heading to the annual Festival de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême next week, where we hope to see many of our friends and fabulous authors, hopefully with a stack of exciting new projects to bring back with us! We'll try to be responsive while on the road!
Address Verification messages are out -- shipping starts next week!

Hi everyone!
We hope you're having a great holiday season! Things have been insanely busy this month trying to get everything done before Christmas next week... is it us, or has this month felt a lot shorter than usual?
Quartermaster has sent out the Address Verification Emails to all domestic/North American backers this morning which is your very last chance to update your address if necessary since they'll start shipping next week!
As much as everyone wanted to get these books in your hands by Christmas, the sheer amount of competing traffic and congestion (from some much bigger players) has gotten in the way. Yay, Capitalism. Boo, holiday competition. Hopefully, some of you might actually receive your stuff by the 25th, but if not, just think of it as a late gift from your workaholic Uncle Mike extending your cheer by a couple of days... 😉🎅
If you need to update your address and don't receive that email from QML today, check your spam folder, or feel free to message us here directly with your updated address, and we'll pass it along to QML this weekend.
Thanks, everyone! Almost at the finish line!
Happy Holidays!
Shipping starts soon! How about some REWARD POINTS in the meantime...?

Hi, everyone!
We hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season and settling into the cozy vibes of December! With Christmas and New Year's just around the corner, we're thrilled to wrap up this wild year together! 😊 So much has happened in 2024, and between the highs (and lows), we can't deny how grateful we are for all of your support -- you are the reason we do this!
The fulfillment warehouse is well-prepared and remains optimistic about dispatching all domestic shipments before the Christmas break. (International order inventory will be well on its way to the regional forwarding hubs by then, too.) While we aim to have everything sent out by this date, please note that delivery times may vary depending on your local carriers. If some shipments arrive after Christmas, consider that our way of extending your holiday enjoyment a little longer. 😉 Thank you for your understanding and support during this busy season!
Meanwhile, while you wait --
YOU'VE GOT AMBASSADOR POINTS!
If you missed the mention on the campaign page, every pledge includes a number of Ambassador Points equivalent to your final order total (including postage). These are unique reward points that can be collected and redeemed for discounts and rewards on our webstore, and a great way to support Magnetic Press further (while building up a collection of cool books and stuff in the process)!
If you are already a webstore customer and part of the program, just log into your webstore account (which should be under the same email address as your Kickstarter/Backerkit account). You should see those new points added to your balance under the heading "HUNCHBACK Kickstarter Points."
If you don't have an account on our webstore,your points have been tallied, but you will need to register an account and then contact us to add them for you. 😊
For a walkthrough of how to register, just follow the steps on our webpage:
You can use points for discount codes, gift cards, and occasionally for exclusivecollectible items that you can only get using points! It's definitely a fun program that we'll be building upon very soon!
If you don't see your HUNCHBACK points in your account, or if you have any questions about the above, please email us at [email protected]and we'll get back to you ASAP. Please note that if you haven't completed your Backerkit order, your points have not been awarded yet, so check to make sure your survey and any remaining payments are complete!
Thanks, everyone! More news soon! Have a great weekend!
Please verify your addresses this weekend!

Hello, everyone!
We hope you had a great week and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend. We wanted to let everyone know that we will be locking addresses this weekend! You may have received an email from Backerkit earlier today asking you to confirm your address -- if you need to change anything, now is the time to do it!
We need to start prepping the warehouse with final order information soon. We are hoping to have everything ready to ship in a few weeks, with the goal of having all packages (or all Domestic North American packages at least) shipped before Christmas. (International orders will take a little more time to travel... we'd like to be upfront that your packages will not likely beat the holiday, but they should hopefully arrive soon thereafter!)
If you didn't get the email and want to double-check what address we have, you can log into https://classic-horror-illustrated-by-georges-bess.backerkit.com/. You should still be able to revise your shipping address until Sunday. If you need to adjust it after Sunday, send us a message here on Kickstarter, or email us at [email protected] and we'll help you out.
Thanks, everyone! We're looking forward to getting these beautiful books to you!
Digital Files have been distributed!

Hi everyone!
Whew - October has been a busy month! Traveling to conventions, getting a bunch of books finished and printed, receiving finished printed books and getting them routed to the fulfillment center... it's exhausting! But well worth it, especially considering how PERFECT these books are for the Halloween season... And we're happy to let you know that
We distributed the digital files!
You may have already received an email notification from Backerkit, but if not, check your inboxes or check your Backerkit page directly. You will find all links and instructions on your personal Backerkit page (which you can access below or at https://classic-horror-illustrated-by-georges-bess.backerkit.com/),
Once logged in, you should see a big blue button in the middle of the page that says "Get Your Digital Downloads" -- click on that to see your personal links for each item ordered. Granted, you will only see that button if you have finished your Backerkit survey, but if you haven't, that link will walk you through the process.
The books are hosted by Gumroad -- you will have to follow the (simple) instructions to use your unique codes to download your files from Gumroad for free. 😊
If you have any trouble or questions about the process, feel free to email us at [email protected] -- we're happy to help!
The books have almost reached the warehouse and the other stretch goal items should be arriving soon. We suspect we'll be able to start shipping in December, but we'll let you know as soon as everything has arrived.
