About 1800 pounds of Kolchak hardcovers were delivered today and I lugged them into my house in below-freezing temperatures. Now the final wave of fulfillment has begun!
YOU WILL GET A TRACKING NUMBER EMAILED TO YOU!
If you weren't in the first wave, you are in the final wave of fulfillment.
I expect fulfillment to last 2 to 3 weeks. I'm very excited to get the last of the rewards out and in your hands. I think you're going to love them.
If your address changed, please let me know as soon as possible. It needs to be updated on BackerKit. It doesn't matter if you changed it on Kickstarter. I don't have access to your info there.

KOLCHAK TRADING CARDS
JUST ADDED: If you order the trading cards you will get an autographed card with your set.
If you missed the cards Challenge Coin, or Kolchak Eras during the campaign, I made them available at the Monstrous shop.
KOLCHAK ERAS
Please, leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads. If you send me a link or screenshot to your review at [email protected] you'll be entered to win an exclusive Weird Tales / Cthulhu T-shirt (see it below).
SUPER SECRET KOLCHAK PROJECT!!!
I can finally reveal the big news! I've partnered with Wandering Planet Toys to release the first officially licensed Kolchak figures.
Presented as a 1/12 scale (6-inch figure) modern deluxe figure with 22 points of articulation, two heads (with hat and without), and interchangeable hands. With accessories like Kolchak’s typewriter, camera, tape recorder, and a crucifix.
Collectors searching for the intrepid reporter’s gruesome side can pick up the BLOOD-SPLATTERED KOLCHAK VERSUS THE NIGHT STALKER – Two-figure Pack, which features the BLOOD-SPATTERED VARIANT of Kolchak and the terrifying 1/12 scale vampire, JANOS SKORZENY, capturing the moment the two faced off in their final duel.
In just a few days, we're launching the campaign for the first Weird Tales graphic novel and I'm very excited. Below is a look at 2 of the 3 covers as well as our Kickstarter exclusive Challenge Coin and T-shirt.
Also, I just heard from KelleyJones and he's agreed to sign 20 copies of his cover (it's the one on the right). So make sure you get the email notification that we're launching before they sell out.

First Shipment of Hardcovers Have Arrived! A Look at All the Rewards
10 months ago
– Thu, Jan 08, 2026 at 04:52:06 PM
I got the first few hundred hardcovers! And I'm getting them out as fast as I can.
These are the expedited copies. The printer is in China and I have to pay extra to have copies flown over to the U.S. The rest of the shipment, since it's such a large order, comes on a ship and takes a few more weeks. I expect to be completely done with fulfillment in 4 to 5 weeks.
I made a video showing all the rewards. Check it out below.
The first batch of reward tiers to go out will be the ULTIMATE KOLCHAK FAN PACK and any order that included KOLCHAK ERAS or the 50TH ANNIVERSARY GRAPHIC NOVEL.
Also, let me know in the comments or message me if you want me to sign Kolchak Eras, the Hardcover, or the 50th Anniversary Graphic Novel.

The first hardcovers for Kolchak Meets the Classic Monsters have arrived! They are gorgeous!!!
These are the production samples, which the printer sends to make sure everything is okay. They were perfect and the first shipment of hardcovers should be arriving at my doorstep any day now. I will ship them out immediately!

FREE KOLCHAK MEETS KONGA PRINT
Since you've all be so patient — well, some of you — I'll be sending all physical backers a free exclusive 6"x4" print from my "Kolchak Meets Konga story." Art by Zac Atkinson.
Since the print hasn't been delivered yet, I'll send the print below to the backers whose rewards are shipping in the next few days. If you absolutely want the Konga print, I can hold off on shipping your rewards — let me know ASAP. This only holds for people who didn't order a hardcover. If you ordered a hardcover, you'll get the Konga print.
KOLCHAK TRADING CARDS
All the cards are here!
Here's a look with an assist from Godzilla. Cards are not Godzilla-sized!
If you ordered a card set, you'll will now also get an autographed card.
Cards come in a pack like this.
The set consists of 11 cards, including an autographed card.
If you missed the cards and Challenge Coin during the campaign, you can purchase both at the Monstrous shop.
KOLCHAK T-SHIRTS
Some of the shirts will come with your rewards. Certain sizes like Mediums and overseas orders, will ship separately. Those are shipping now.
A NOTE ON SHIPPING
I know some of you are unhappy that it's taken this long for rewards to be sent out. As I've said on several occassions, our expected deliver date has always been December 2025. Check out the photo below and you can see all the rewards we've created in a year. It's quite a lot — and of the highest quality with some of the biggest names of comics contributing. We had two contributors' work delayed due to personal reasons. Stuff happens. Printing high-quality hardcovers takes a long time. And unlike, many other publishers, we created and offered the entire 3-book series and collection all at once!
Normally, each book would be given a campaign and would stretch over several years. Plus, we created an 11-card trading card set, challenge coin, anthology, Kolchak Eras, and other rewards. There was no way we do all this in a matter of weeks or even months.
Awesomeness takes time!
Here are just some of the rewards we created for the Kolchak Meets the Classic Monsters campaign.
By the way, we printed only 2,000 hardcovers for Kolchak Meets the Classic Monsters and we sold out. That's all the hardcovers that will ever be printed. These are collector's items.
A copy of the Kolchak: The Night Stalker 50th Anniversary One-Shot signed by yours truly recently sold on eBay for $59.50. And copies of the hardcover and paperback routinely sell for twice or three times the price from the Kickstarter.
I've been working really hard to get these rewards made and in your hands. No one wants to deliver this stuff more than me. Believe me — I wish it was all out months ago.
If anyone wants their other rewards earlier than the hardcovers, let me know and I can do two shipments for you. I can only do this for a few of you since it will cost me more money.
