Reflect on Their “Bestselling Authors Bundle” Titles in Support
of this New Dynamite Humble Bundle!
February 10, 2016, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment again partners with Humble Bundle for one of the most jam-packed collections of comics and prose yet! This latest offering features some of the biggest authors in the publisher’s catalog, giving readers approximately $250 in content for a fraction of the cover price for fans to pay what YOU want for each bundle, and introduce yourself to Dynamite’s library of literary titles!
“It’s always a lot of fun to work with our good friends over at Dynamite,” says Kelley Allen, Director of Books at Humble Bundle. “This promotion is chock-filled with mega star authors, artists and creators to the hilt!”
“Dynamite has been incredibly fortunate to work with some of the greatest names in fiction,” says Dynamite CEO/Publisher Nick Barrucci. “This year marks the fifth anniversary of New York Times Bestseller Charlaine Harris’ first-ever graphic novel adaptation of her series, Grave Sight, as well as the anniversary of Dean Koontz’s incredibly suspenseful graphic novel adaptation of Fear Nothing. We wanted to mark the occasion by gathering together the work of numerous phenomenal writers into one great bundle, titles like Shaft: A Complicated Man (the 2015 Glyph Award winner by writer David Walker) and Legends of Red Sonja (a celebration of so many sensational authors, spearheaded by the talented Gail Simone). This will give fiction fans a low cost way to check out Dynamite’s wide catalog of literary all-stars, and all in support of three great causes. This bundle is packed with something for fans of comics and prose, and also supports three great charitable organizations that we feel help those in need: the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and Doctors Without Borders.”

GAIL SIMONE REFLECTS ON LEGENDS OF RED SONJA
EXCLUSIVELY TO PROMOTE THE BESTSELLING AUTHORS BUNDLE
“So, we wanted to do something very special for the 40th anniversary of Red Sonja’s creation, and I had this idea, what if we did an anthology, like the classic sword and sorcery black and white magazines, but with the stories all connected by a theme? That seemed exciting, but because it was Sonja, I wanted also to do something that would have been nearly impossible 40 years ago…have all the writers be women. But would it work? Would there be enough great female writers who wanted to write about the She-Devil (and her infamous chain mail bikini)?
“I needn’t have worried. I made a list of brilliant writers whose work I loved, and within a day, everyone answered back with an enthusiastic HELL, YES. We got some of my favorite prose writers, like Nancy Collins and Mercedes Lackey, as well as Meljean Brooke and Tamora Pierce in their first-ever comics work. We got comics superstars like Kelly Sue DeConnick and Marjorie Liu. We got Devin Grayson, ace Batman writer, back in the medium she loves after years away. We got people from games and television, it was just a killer line-up, every one a samurai. It was as much fun to create as it was to read. That line-up may never happen again, it was just once-in-a-lifetime.
“And it was all for the love of a redhead with a sword. Thanks, Dynamite, for allowing us to run through the village, creating havoc on the populace. It was indeed, the best of times!”
Gail Simone got her start in comics writing for Bongo Comics, home of The Simpsons. Following her time there, Simone entered the mainstream comics world with a run on Marvel Comics’ Deadpool, and later, Agent X. Perhaps best known for known for runs on DC’s Birds of Prey, Secret Six, Wonder Woman, and Batgirl, Simone made a much-publicized move to reimagine the classic Red Sonja character at Dynamite in 2013 with the launch of a series that spanned nineteen issues. The debut chapter was met with immediate critical acclaim and an impressive, immediate sell-out of its 35,000-unit first printing. On two occasions since, she has assembled teams of fiction’s top female writers — well-respected professionals from the prose, fantasy gaming, and comic book worlds — for collaborative projects at Dynamite, the aforementioned Legends of Red Sonja and the epic Swords of Sorrow event in the summer of 2015.
DEAN KOONTZ REFLECTS ON FEAR NOTHING
EXCLUSIVELY TO PROMOTE THE BESTSELLING AUTHORS BUNDLE
“Dynamite’s graphic novel adaptation of Fear Nothing knocks it out of the park. Sophisticated, engrossing, and fun. It pushed all my buttons — the right ones!”
When he was a senior in college, Dean Koontz won an Atlantic Monthly fiction competition and has been writing ever since. His books are published in 38 languages and he has sold over 450 million copies to date. Fourteen of his novels have risen to number one on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list (One Door Away From Heaven, From the Corner of His Eye, Midnight, Cold Fire, The Bad Place, Hideaway, Dragon Tears, Intensity, Sole Survivor, The Husband, Odd Hours, Relentless, What the Night Knows, and 77 Shadow Street), making him one of only a dozen writers ever to have achieved that milestone. Sixteen of his books have risen to the number one position in paperback. His books have also been major bestsellers in countries as diverse as Japan and Sweden.
