Thanks for the suggestion! If it requires that app...

Neon Ichiban is a digital comics and manga platform where readers buy, collect, read, and resell issues from every major publisher in one place. Every purchase is a real collectible — not a license you can lose — and you can trade it on a built-in marketplace.

Buy digital issues from every major publisher, read them on the web or the mobile app, collect variants and signed copies, resell editions you own on the built-in marketplace, and earn rewards for reviewing books you have read.

Btw, it looks like there is a lot of amazing staff on "dstlry", I literally love sites within that fonts' clean style.

I have yet to come across a Humble Bundle that I couldn't buy in Denmark. And I've bought little more than a 100 bundles from them.

[maddz]

Several Fanatical book bundles which may be of interest:

https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/...as-book-bundle 53 Baen and public domain collections. There's only 4 novels I'm interested in; most of the other novels I got off one or other Baen CD-ROM. Sadly, not a build your own bundle. Having said that, I wonder if any are updated editions.

https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-an...-novels-bundle A build-your-own bundle. Unfortunately, only 2 books seem interesting, and the art isn't great IMO.

https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/...or-book-bundle A better collection, but we have most of the public domain books. The Hardinge and the di Filippo look interesting, as do two of the Kuttner collections and the Leiber collection. Most of the other authors featured I've never heard of, but I wouldn't necessarily as I don't really read horror.

https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/...ic-book-bundle 1 day left on this one

Also there's https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/...lhu-rpg-bundle plus some Traveller bundles.

The Baen bundle is full of books from series with the series being complete.

It doesn't seems the retrieving key from the DSTRLY Humble Bundle requires Neon Ichiban app; I've tried from the browser and it allows a DRM-free download of the comic as a PDF (I haven't tried all the bundle's comics yet).
Thought it will be singular downloads, and probably some comics are not the complete serie, but also those are 3 or 4 issues ones, and if the bundle misses one chapter, imho it's fine anyway and it looks supportive for the authors.
By a first look those works seem very original, glad to have found it.

Why is there a Pac-Man cookbook lol

Pac-man is all about food and eating! There's cherries, strawberries, melons, later ones add cakes and coffees!

I was surprised to see there is a second volume of the FFXIV cookbook. I have the first, it's not horrible IMO, everything I made from it was pretty good.

I've soured on franchise cookbook tie-ins. I had one or two in the past that felt fresh and creative, but they've proliferated so much now that they all feel very low-effort.

(@Dr.Drib, recalling having mentioned the series), there is a bundle for "Creepy & Eerie Archives - The Complete Comic Colection": https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/...mic-collection
Some covers are by Franzetta, the previews look well drawn.

It looks like they are 'proper' ebook versions; the ISBNs on mine tend to be the hardback ISBNs - i.e. Baen digitised the print versions for the CD-ROMs.

So probably worth getting; looking at some of mine the layout is better suited to print.

I think I checked that out. But I'll double-check that again.

Archie Goodwin - wasn't he the great writer for so many of those stories?

I've mentiond it to you because thought you'd already knew the serie, recalling you was searching for those magazines on an earlier post (I might have misunderstood, pardon).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eerie_(magazine)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creepy_(magazine)
On another bundle from the same site there is the serie of "Vampirella", too; althought -imho- the drawings doesn't look that nice.

Step into the macabre! We’ve unearthed a monstrous, spine-tingling collection of classic horror just for you. Experience the golden age of horror comics, packed with ghoulish tales, dark fantasy, and jaw-dropping artwork from industry legends including Frank Frazetta, Steve Ditko, Alex Toth, Al Williamson, and writer Archie Goodwin.

Don't let this deal rot in the grave—grab the Creepy & Eerie Archives Bundle before it vanishes into the shadows!

I'm just an ignorant, and I'm again sorry. Had heard only of Steve Ditko; while searching, Richard Corben:

In 2012 he was elected to the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame.

and other prizes, it would be nice to read "Bloodstar" by him (imho again):

Possibly the first graphic novel to call itself a “graphic novel” in print (in its introduction and dust jacket), it was based on a short story by Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan the Barbarian,

Thoght on Creepy it was on its spanish version only: https://muuta.net/wp/synopsis/bloodstar/

I appreciate all the information you have ALWAYS given me.

And I had forgotten about Vampirella.

Yes, in looking at the site, I remember that now. (But isn't there a new series of those magazines?)

I remember spending HOURS reading those magazines and hurriedly going to the magazine section of bookstores and newsstands looking for the latest issue. Those magazines - along with Robert A.W. Lowndes' magazines (Magazine of Horror, Startling Stories, and two other titles from him) helped expose me to all the classic writers, in addition to a newcomer with the silly-sounding name of Stephen King.

I loved Creepy and Eerie when I was growing up.

Humble Bundle has a “100 Years of Poul Anderson” bundle. (Not sure about regional availability):

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/1...ad-media-books

Entire bundle is 42 books, for a minimum cost of 19.54 € where I am.

This is yet another SF/fantasy author whose name I’ve seen often but have never read. If my to-read pile wasn’t so high, I’d be quite interested; as it is, I have to think about it a bit.

I read Broken Sword and Three Hearts, Three Lions. Both were good. I intend to read Hrolf Kraki's Saga at some point. Not sure how much of his other stuff is essential.

Nice recent streak of Sci-Fi/Fantasy authors so far, though. If we can get Jack Vance or Fritz Leiber next, that would be awesome.
