In October 2020 we presented the
Girl Genius Bundle, a zeppelin-full of digital graphic albums and ebook novels featuring Studio Foglio’s
Girl Genius, the “gaslamp fantasy” webcomic of adventure, romance, and mad science. In an alternate Europe in the throes of Industrial Revolution, the inventive scientists called Sparks develop new and interesting ways to smash each other’s castles. Agatha Heterodyne, a hapless student at Transylvania Polygnostic University, discovers her own Spark. As she obsessively pursues her monstrous heritage and birthright, all Europa watches carefully, for fear Agatha may become a monster herself.
Created by
Phil and Kaja Foglio (
What’s New With Phil & Dixie?, MythAdventures, and many more),
Girl Genius debuted as a quarterly comic book in 2000, then became a successful
thrice-weekly webcomic in 2005. The series has garnered a shelf of
awards, a novel series, a
Munchkin expansion, a
Cheapass Games card game,
licensed merchandise, a thriving
Patreon campaign, and a just-ended
Girl Genius computer game Kickstarter campaign. This new offer presented .PDFs of the first 13 graphic-novel volumes — the 1,814-page “Act 1” of Agatha Heterodyne’s story — plus other Studio Foglio treats like the two volumes of Phil Foglio’s crazed space opera
Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire.
(
Note: Like all Bundle of Holding offers, these titles are downloadable digital files, not physical albums.)

There were
seven titles in our
Starter Collection (retail value
$73), including full-color .PDFs of the first three
Girl Genius comics albums (collecting the first ten issues of the print comic); three
Girl Genius novels by Phil and Kaja Foglio from Start Science Fiction (in ePub and Kindle formats); the 2001
Secret Blueprints comic that introduced the setting; and lots of fun freebies from the
Studio Foglio website.

Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price
also got our entire
Bonus Collection with
twelve more titles worth an additional
$102, including no less than
ten more graphic albums and both volumes of
Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire.
Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) went to this offer’s designated charity,
Feeding America. Feeding America is a US-based network of more than 200 food banks that feed more than 46 million people through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other community-based agencies.
