Dynamite Unveils Anniversary Bundle

Wild CardsTo celebrate their first decade of comic book publishing, Dynamite Entertainment launches its first ever Humble Bundle promotion which will allow fans to purchase over 100 digital comics books and graphic novels (the largest Humble Bumble comics collection in history) at a cost of each person’s choosing, granting existing and new fans significant purchasing power.  In keeping with the tradition of promotions hosted and arranged by Humble Bundle, Dynamite will contribute a portion of the proceeds to three important charitable organizations, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The Humble Dynamite 10th Anniversary Bundle event begins Wednesday, June 25th, at 2:00pm EST, and runs through Wednesday, July 9th, at 1:59pm.  Every day at 2:00pm throughout the promotion, a digital comic book will be made available as a free download to fans, kicking off with a free digital copy of Red Sonja #1 – written by fan-favorite author Gail Simone (of Batgirl and Wonder Woman fame).

“Marking our tenth year of publishing, 2014 has been very special to everyone here at Dynamite, as we reflect back on all our hard efforts, and look forward to the accomplishments and new heights to come,” says Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment.  “Our Humble Bundle promotion runs through July, leading up to our anniversary month, as a way to celebrate and reward current fans (and entirely new fans) with accessible, entertaining digital comics at an incredible price.  With the wide attention that Humble Bundle generates, we hope to reach outside our market to attain new readers of both digital and printed comics, helping our overall industry to grow.”

Regarding the partners in the program, Barrucci adds, “I applaud Humble Bundle for their innovative collection program, and am proud that Dynamite is one of the premiere comic publishers to participate in their program.  Also, thanks to the additional charity aspect of its structure, we are working hand-in-hand with the Humble Bundle organization and socially-conscious fans to support three incredible organizations – the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, Doctors Without Borders, and Make-A-Wish – in their worthwhile efforts.”

Reflecting on the Humble Bundle program, CBLDF Executive Director Charles Brownstein says, “Ten years of Dynamite!  Congratulations to Nick Barrucci and his tireless crew on this outstanding milestone!  We’re so grateful to be a part of the celebration, and thrilled that the comics people buying into this Humble Bundle will help CBLDF continue to do important work protecting the freedom to read comics.”

Thanks to the generous contributions from customers, Humble Bundle has enabled the community to contribute more than $39 million to charity so far.

“With the advent of our new Book tab on Humble Bundle in May, the interest from publishers to participate in our Book program has skyrocketed,” says Kelley L. Allen, Director of Books at Humble Bundle.  “It became very clear to me instantly that Dynamite would be an excellent fit for a bundle and we are absolutely thrilled to be kicking off Dynamite’s tenth anniversary celebration with this ebullience mega-bundle of comics.”

Proceeds from the Humble Dynamite 10th Anniversary Bundle will contribute to three very worthy charities.  The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of the First Amendment rights of the comics art form and its community of retailers, creators, publishers, librarians, and readers.  Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières is a private international association, comprised mainly of doctors and health sector workers, that delivers emergency medical aid to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from health care.  The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that grants the wishes of children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions, significantly changing the lives of the children and their communities by inspiring hope, courage, and further philanthropy.
