PRE-ORDER – NOT YET RELEASEDSecure your copy ahead of release. Pre-ordering reserves stock before general availability and helps us place accurate orders with our distributors.Orde rs are dispatched in line with eBay's pre-order requirements (within 40 business days). In practice, we aim to dispatch within 1–4 working days of stock arriving at our warehouse following its release.Release schedules are determined by publishers and distributors and may occasionally change. If a title experiences a significant delay beyond our original estimate, or we're unable to fulfil a confirmed pre-order, we'll contact you promptly to discuss the most appropriate way forward.We honour all confirmed pre-orders, regardless of changes in market value.UNDERSTANDING OUR GRADINGTo help make purchasing simpler, we use our own Spooky Electro condition guide.Rather than attempting to compare comics against third-party grading companies such as CGC or CBCS, our grading is designed to provide clear, consistent expectations for the comics we supply.The Pre-Order Supplied Condition below explains the quality standard you can expect from our pre-orders. A full explanation of each condition grade can be found later in this listing.PRE-ORDER SUPPLIED CONDITIONEvery comic supplied against this pre-order is individually assessed upon arrival. Copies meeting our expected standard are then bagged and boarded before dispatch.We always aim to supply Very Fine / Near Mint (VF/NM) copies wherever possible. However, as comics pass through the publisher, distributor and shipping process before reaching us, minor handling or manufacturing imperfections can occur. For this reason, our expected supplied standard for pre-orders is Very Fine Plus (VF+) or better.Within our VF+ standard, this may include up to two or three light spine ticks or other very minor cosmetic imperfections. Comics supplied as VF+ will not display corner dings, creasing or significant edge wear. Should the best available copy fail to meet our VF+ standard, we'll contact you before dispatch to discuss the available options. Further information about the Spooky Electro grading system, including each condition grade and the standards applied, can be found within our Terms & Conditions.KEY DATES ● US Final Order Cut-Off (FOC): 07 September 2026 ● UK Order Deadline: Thursday prior to FOC ● Pre-Order Pricing Ends: UK Order Deadline ● Expected Arrival at Our Warehouse: 30 September 2026**This is our current expected warehouse arrival date based on the publisher's latest release schedule.

SHIPPINGPre-order items are dispatched within 1–4 working days of arriving at our warehouse following our quality control checks.Orders containing multiple items are typically dispatched together once all items are available.
