New Humble Bundle is up, and it's for:
Humble Book Bundle Forbidden Books supporting Banned Books Week containing mostly comics, but also a few prose books in there.
Selections include portions of Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples' Hugo-nominated Saga from Image, a whole bunch of books from Fantagraphics, non-fiction about the founder of MAD Magazine and a Disney copyright dispute, and there's a nifty-looking graphic novel autobiographical tale by Samuel R. Delany (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia), though more focusing on his personal life than his classic science fiction work.
Fixed tiers of $1, $8, and $15 (no new titles added next week). Even though a couple of titles in this are repeats from previous comics bundles, this is an auto-buy for me at the top-tier.
ETA: the Disney lawsuit, MAD Magazine founder, and underground comics books from Fantagraphics are PDF-only, due to the mix of text and pictures. Everything else is available as both PDF and CBZ, and sometimes ePub.

Last week's
Humble Book Bundle Science Fiction by Real Scientists out from academic publisher Springer. I started reading the one non-fiction book in the lowest tier, and so far it's been an informative look at how the real science that particular Hollywood movies have used for dramatic plot points like genetic engineering actually work. If you think you might be interested, IMHO it's certainly worth giving a try for $1, with at least 2 more books like it in the top tier.
Bundle of Holding has rotated their RPG gamebook offerings, and the new one is for
Iron Kingdoms, a steampunk sorcery game set in a fantasy world undergoing the local equivalent of the Industrial Revolution. Last week's
Indie Treasure Trove +4 is still available for a few more days.
Just a reminder that StoryBundle'
Truly Epic Fantasy Bundle 2016 expires in a few more days, if you haven't already decided whether or not you want it. Their
Extreme Sci-Fi Bundle and
Political Thriller Bundle are available for a while longer, the latter until the end of the US election season, it looks like.
