Grawlgore & Shanks #1-2 - A Dwarf & Orc Solve Mysteries!

Getting Closer to Grawlgore & Shanks Fulfillment!
18 days ago – Fri, Aug 28, 2026 at 08:04:54 AM

Hey, friends! We hope your summer is going well.  Just wanted to slide in with a quick progress update on this and other ComixTribe projects. 

First the double-sized issue is nearly complete. Joe has finished pencils on the entire issue, and only has a few pages left to ink.  JP Jordan, colorist extraordinaire is working on pages as they come in.  It's taken a little longer than expected to get this issue complete, but as you can see from the pages below, the art is amazing. 

Joe expects to have inks wrapped in the next week or so, and since we're printing right here in the good ol USA, we don't expect a long turn around time from printing to fulfillment. 

CHUM HARDCOVER'S SHIPPING THIS WEEK!

While we wrap G&S #2, we're hard at work shipping out orders for CHUM Ultimate Collection Die-Cut Hardcover. This book kicks butt, and is another amazing collection.

GET READY FOR OUR NEXT LAUNCH!

And speaking of projects, we also are getting ready for our biggest comic launch of the year... and once again, we have a SUPER VIP special deal for our fans.

about 2 months ago – Mon, Jul 20, 2026 at 01:54:44 PM

Hey, friends and backers! Hope your summer is rolling along nicely. In between beach trips and ice cream runs, we're working hard on wrapping up the book and getting things in order for fulfullment. 

Kickstarter was able to successfully collect all but 5 Backers' pledges. Not to worry though... if your pledge was dropped by Kickstarter, you will have options to fix, either in Backerkit or by paying us directly.  If you have any questions about your errored pledge, just message us through Kickstarter and we'll get you sorted. 

BACKERKIT SHIPPING SURVEYS COMING THIS WEEK!

Speaking of Backerkit Surveys, we're just putting finishing touches on them. They will be going out to backers this week so that you can finalize your pledges and add-ons, pay for shipping charges, and get us your shipping info.

A NOTE FOR PLEDGE OVER TIME BACKERS

If you selected the PLEDGE OVER TIME option, which was available on pledges $125+, then only your first of three equal payments has been collected.

All POT backers will have Charge #2 take place on August 7 and Charge #3 take place on September 11, 2026. 

After that September 11 payment, your Backerkit Survey will be unlocked within 48 hour of the final charge going through, and sent to you automatically. 

NOTE: POT backers will NOT be able to access their Backerkit Surveys until the final payment is Kickstarter completed. 

We'll email you again when GRAWLGORE & SHANKS Surveys start going out in a couple days. In the meantime, thanks so much for Supporting this campaign! 

*** Note: About 5% of our backers will get their surveys early (within the next 24 hours) as a part of our SMOKE TEST.  If that's you, please fill out ASAP so that there's no delay with your rewards and so we can get a solid test of the survey.

Grawlgore & Shanks Book 2 is a Wrap! Here's What's Next...
2 months ago – Mon, Jul 06, 2026 at 08:15:16 AM

Hey, friends! Thanks again for an amazing sophomore campaign for Grawlgore & Shanks. Despite wrapping over a holiday weekend, we still managed to unlock all 5 stretch goals and pass the $10K mark! 

Right now, we're in the 2 week funding freeze period, where Kickstarter is processing pledges on our behalf. 

94.8% of pledges have already been successfully processed via Kickstarter.  

Still that leaves 13 backers whose pledges have errored.

This is a simple fix, and usually means your credit card info with Kickstarter is not up to date. 

To update your payment information, simply log into Kickstarter and update your account. 

(Kickstarter will also send you an email to fix this.)  

Please resolve those pledges ASAP, so we can get you your rewards without delay. 

NOTE: If you do not fix your pledge by Friday, 7/10/26, Kickstarter will drop your pledge.

Next Step: Surveys

If you're new to Kickstarter, you may be wondering how we'll know where to send your rewards.  Not to worry... 

After Kickstarter finishes doing its thing and collects pledges from all backers, we'll send you a short SHIPPING SURVEY to fill out which will let you tell us where to send your physical and digital rewards. 

Prompt survey fulfillment = faster fulfillment, so we do hope you'll get yours in ASAP after we send it.

Once we get the surveys out, we'll follow up with a time-table on expected rewards delivery.

Don't Forget to Join Us on the INSIDE!

We're celebrating this launch with fans and fellow ComixTribe creator in our INSIDERS Private Facebook Group. 

As a backer, we'd love to have you join us on the inside!
