The Bleeding Heart of Heavy Metal Humble Bundle launches today ... (AIPT)

The Latest Heavy Metal Humble Bundle comes in at a $675 value, but you can pay what you want.

“As yet another wave of censorship threatens access to the comic arts, we’re truly grateful to Heavy Metal, Humble Bundle, and everyone who gets this stunning collection of cutting-edge creativity for your supermassive support.” “It’s a great opportunity for readers to see for themselves why Heavy Metal has earned a place in graphic-fiction history, all while supporting a charity doing important work fighting censorship and championing free expression.” “To wrap our 45th anniversary year with this comprehensive look at Heavy Metal’s legacy is something our fans will surely love, and hopefully new fans will embrace too. All of the funds for charity raised from Heavy Metal’s previous bundle went toward the legal expenses associated with the CBLDF’s successful defense of Gender Queer in the Virginia Beach obscenity case, in which the petitioner attacked not only that particular book but all comics with mature content. The bundle is available to purchase now as a pay-what-you-want model and runs for the next 21 days. The bundle will feature 45 digital issues of Heavy Metal Magazine to celebrate the iconic publisher’s 45th anniversary this year.
