111 on the rack

Every design is an issue, and every issue gets a number. The number sits in the badge on the chest. It is also how we find your design when you write to us, so quote it.

Covers and runs

Run 05 · 3 covers

Designs come in runs. Cover A, Cover B and Cover C are three takes on one idea. Pick the one you like, or collect the run.

How an issue is made

03 steps
  1. Drawn from canon references

    Every cover starts from reference art of the character, so the costume, the colours and the small details match the source.

  2. Printed on request

    Nothing sits in a warehouse. When you order, our print partner prints your tee by direct-to-garment (DTG) and it leaves within 2–4 business days.

  3. Numbered

    The issue number goes into the front badge. The cover letter goes on the product page.

What we don’t do

No countdown timers. No made-up reviews. No “only 2 left” unless it is true. When a design sells out, the page says sold out.

The small print

Back Issue is fan-made, unofficial merchandise. We are not affiliated with, licensed or endorsed by any studio, publisher, creator or rights holder. The characters and titles belong to their owners.
