More Prototype Make Readies Made

We can't help but share pics of the works in process from our printer. While we don't have our hands on these samples, they are on the way.

But check these out! We shared 1941 last time, but now they've made 1942-1944.
Thank you again to our backers, who make this possible. 

And a friendly reminder that it's not too late to back this campaign. We'll have some time between now and when the printer prints and ships, and we fulfill - so back it now, and enjoy ALL FOUR VOLUMES at one time.

DICK TRACY Prototypes Made!

Super excited to show you some pics from our printer of the prototype make ready of the 1941 volume.


We don't want to jinx things, but we are right on track - maybe running a little bit ahead of schedule. We promised these would be fulfilled no later than May 2026, and we should be able to deliver far earlier than that.

For those who backed this - THANK YOU again. Look at what you helped bring to fruition!

For those who did not - it's not too late. Put your order in now, though, to ensure you receive this inaugural set of DICK TRACY COLLECTION.

Surveys Sent!

Thanks to the 25 backers who quickly responded to the survey smoke test.

Looks like we're ready to send the survey wide - so we did!

Please look for your survey email OR if you're already logged in to Backerkit, go over to your surveys list and please complete your survey.

Thank you again for all your support. We have several years of DICK TRACY to collect and share with y'all.


Survey Smoke Test!
5 months ago – Tue, Oct 21, 2025 at 04:52:28 PM

Hey there!

Just a quick update to let you know that we've sent the Backerkit Smoke Test out to backers. This is a random sampling of backers of each tier, so we can stress test how we've set up the survey. 

Once we receive feedback and are confident that all is good, we'll send the survey out WIDE. 

This may be our first Backerkit campaign, but we have been using Backerkit for our pledge management for the last several campaigns. We're by no means experts, and it just means we know there is always some detail we've missed, which is why we like to test the surveys out.

Fingers crossed it all goes well, then it's off to the wide release of surveys.

Thank you again for your support on this campaign!

WOW! FINISH LINE!

What a marathon!

We didn't know what to expect of our first Backerkit campaign, but what a great journey.

THANK YOU!

416 backers is a great way to launch our new series of softcover slipcase volumes of DICK TRACY. We could not have done this without you.

We'll be figuring out the surveys next, so keep an eye out for that. Again, thank you so much for your support of DICK TRACY, and BackerKit's first ever PRINTOPIA!

Again, thank you!
