This revived October 2020 Girl Genius Bundle offer once again presents a zeppelin-full of graphic albums featuring Studio Foglio's Girl Genius, the "gaslamp fantasy" webcomic of adventure, romance, and mad science. This revival has an all-new companion offer, Girl Genius 2, with the eponymous heroine's Second Journey.
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 Munchkin Steampunk expansion, a Cheapass Games card game, licensed merchandise, a thriving Patreon campaign, and a standalone GURPS RPG and sourcebook.
This revival once again presents .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. We provide each graphic album complete in .PDF (Portable Document Format). Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these ebooks have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their devices.

Girl Genius 2
https://bundleofholding.com/presents/SecondGenius
This all-new Girl Genius 2 Bundle is one of two offers in progress that feature Studio Foglio's Girl Genius, the "gaslamp fantasy" webcomic of adventure, romance, and mad science. The companion revival from October 2020, Girl Genius, has the first 13 albums, chronicling Agatha Heterodyne's First Journey; if you're new to the series, start there.
This Girl Genius 2 companion offer follows Agatha in her Second Journey as she seeks to free Castle Heterodyne from a time-stop bubble. The 924 pages of full-color comics in these seven volumes take Agatha from the Incorruptible Library under Paris, the City of Lightning, to the submerged city of Londinium and deep undersea. A supplementary volume, Nuts and Bolts, adds side stories and silly features from the webcomic's 20+-year run, and Buck Godot, Zap Gun for Hire returns in The Gallimaufry.
We provide each title complete in .PDF. Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these ebooks have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their devices. (By publisher request, the DriveThruComics versions of these files are inobtrusively watermarked.)
Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) goes to these two Girl Genius offers' designated charity, Direct Relief. Direct Relief sends protective gear and critical care medications to health workers, with emergency deliveries to medical facilities across the US and to regional response agencies across the world.
The total retail value of the titles in this Girl Genius 2 Bundle is US$90. Customers who pay just US$9.95 get all four full-color volumes in our Journey 2 Starter (retail value $40) as DRM-free ebooks (retail price $10 each), including Girl Genius Volume 14: The Beast of the Rails, 15: The City of Lightning, 16: The Incorruptible Library, and a companion book of side stories and extras, Girl Genius: Nuts and Bolts.
Those who pay more than the threshold (average) price, which is set at $17.95 to start, also get our entire Journey 2 Bonus Collection with five more titles worth an additional $50, including Girl Genius 17: Kings and Wizards, 18: Queens and Pirates, 19: Sparks and Monsters, and 20: The Exorcism Engines, along with the third collection of Phil Foglio's space opera, Buck Godot Zap Gun for Hire 3: The Gallimaufry.
In 2020 I said "This is one I'm not even going to think about - I'll be downloading it tonight." I shall be doing that again for the second offer.
