The iconic Rocketeer "Bullseye" art was created by Dave Stevens in 1982. It was featured on the back cover of the Rocketeer comic book's first issue. This Rocketeer puzzle features the amazing talent of award-winning colorist Laura Martin and is a Zoop exclusive. It's a high-quality item featuring 500 generously-sized and easy-to-handle pieces printed on extra-thick and sturdy paper stock with a high-gloss finish that won't easily bend. The pieces come in a mesh bag enclosed in a sturdy deluxe custom box with a magnetic closure. The puzzle measures 75x 50cm, or approx. 20" x 30", when completed.
Jennifer says "I am in the process of putting together my sample puzzle. What I didn’t anticipate, and quite frankly, surprised me, was how intimate a look I got into Dave’s creative process and the detail involved in this piece. One little puzzle piece had a loop on it. I never noticed that the Mauser handle had a loop at the bottom of it. Dave used a lot of criss-crosses for shadowing on the jacket. And he used quite a bit of Zip-a-tone for the shadowing of the Griffith Observatory Art Deco architecture. This puzzle being so large in scale makes all of these minute details come to life in contrast to a smaller-scale comic book. I already knew that Dave was a master at his craft, but this gives me a greater appreciation for sure."
Jennifer says "The Rocketeer 'Bullseye' t-shirt hasn't been made since the 1980s. It's past time for a new one!"
The Rocketeer’s creator Dave Stevens has influenced a generation of artists, and now fans can experience the character in this new puzzle format. Jennifer Stevens-Bawcum, the sister of Dave Stevens and the trustee of the Rocketeer Trust, states "having waited a long time to see a Rocketeer puzzle come to fruition, the "Bullseye" art was an easy pick for the first one! The people at Zoop have been a pleasure to work with and they have outdone themselves in finding a quality puzzle company to fulfill this campaign!" We're beyond thrilled to work with Jennifer to honor the art and iconic character from Dave Stevens.Here are two pictures that Jennifer is generously sharing, which reinforce her writings about the nature of her relationship with her big brother. She says "one is of us after Halloween; I'd gotten some wax horse teeth that he just had to play with. The other pic of Dave and I was taken less than a year before his death. He was still being a kid. I think this captures our essence."
Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.
Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS
Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.
You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.
Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.
Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.
If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.
Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.
Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.
No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it! And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
