Hey Pre-Code Horror Backers!
We’re one week closer and this week brings a huge milestone:
📃 The paper has arrived at the printer!
That’s right. The material that will bring the Frightening Fifteen to life is in hand, and printing is being scheduled as we speak. Over the next several days, we’ll have a confirmed press date, and from there it’s game on!
First to go on press: 🧟♂️ The core Frightening Fifteen collection 💥 The gorgeous Fluorescent Frights Variants 🔴 Red Foil Variant Editions ⚪️ Silver Foil Variant Editions
Once printed, these will go directly into fulfillment. If you scored 48-hour rewards along with trading cards, or other Pre-Code perks - they’ll all be included in this shipment.
After that, we’ll schedule a second press run for the rest of the collection (Everything Everything, individual series sets, etc.). For those that ordered more than the Frightening 15 there will be two shipments per backer from here forward, no additional shipping charges required beyond what you’ve already paid.
🎖️And to celebrate this major step forward… We’ve released a brand-new, limited edition Macroverse badge!
🗓 Available through June 30, 2025 — make sure to claim yours and lock it into your collection!

This is a huge step forward for Pre-Code Horror and for all future Authentic Editions. You’re helping us set the bar for quality facsimiles of Golden Age classics, and we can’t thank you enough for being part of it.
👀 PS: If you backed Archie too, we know you’re due for an update and we haven’t forgotten! These Pre-Code milestones are smoothing the path for Archie fulfillment too. More on that very soon.

Hello Friends and Fiends!
🎃 One Week Closer!
We’re one week closer to printing and fulfilling the Frightening 15 and the rest of the Pre-Code Horror Collection!
Here’s a quick update and some important reminders as we prepare for paper, printing, packing, and shipping…

📦 Printing & Shipping Timeline: Where Things Stand
The current paper delivery date from the supplier is estimated for June 18th.
Once it arrives, we’re ready to move quickly. Based on what we know today:
📅 Our Estimated Timeline:
Paper arrives: June 18
Printing begins: Targeting the week of June 25
Shipping to fulfillment: Week of July 2
Packing and kitting (Frightening 15 + Fluorescents + Silver Foils): July 2–16
Shipping to you: Starting mid-July
Full collection (55 additional books): Begins printing immediately after Frightening 15
Estimated shipping of full sets: Mid-to-late August
These dates are based on best current info and may shift slightly. We’ll update you right away if they do.
❗ NOTE: Red Foils are delayed by approx. 12 weeks and will ship in a second wave with full sets. This is due to supply constraints of the foil itself. We’ll share more info as we lock down production specifics for these.

🌈 Fluorescent Covers: Mission Accomplished
We set out to do something truly unique—and we did it. Fully fluorescent covers, adapted from vintage art, using a never-before-attempted process. These are going to look incredible, and they’ll be in the first batch out the door.
---
💬 Community + Collectibles = Fun
We’re continuing to polish up the Macroverse platform experience and will do a full update on digital twin + badge redemptions soon. In the meantime, set up your profile, scan your Annual, and join the daily badge hunt!
Also: hop over to our Facebook Group, where the community is growing, sneak peeks are posted regularly, and we’re having lots of fun talking about comics, collecting, and more.
Thank you again for your continued patience, support, and passion. We’re getting close. More updates coming soon, including how you might be able to snag a few additional books before the full collection ships!
Finally - here are a few of our favorite panels from across the Frightening 15 👀
Have a horrifyingly great week!
