Humble Bundle is at it again, teaming up with Dark Horse to bring you a huge bundle of 1970s manga by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima.

This bundle includes:

Lone Wolf and Cub, volumes 1 thru 28

Path of the Assassin, volumes 1 thru 15

Samurai Executioner, volumes 1 thru 10

Crying Freeman, volumes 1 thru 5

Lady Snowblood, volumes 1 thru 4

Color of Rage (single volume)
You can get the entire bundle for $18; you can also get the first volume of each series (minus Color of Rage) for only $1.

This bundle supports The Hero Initiative:

The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book artists and craftsmen in need. Hero Initiative creates a financial safety net for yesterday's creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.

Since its inception, The Hero Initiative has had the good fortune to grant over $700,000 to the comics veterans who have paved the way for those in the industry today.

If you scroll down on the right hand side of the Humble Bundle page, you can also find an area where you can adjust how much of your purchase goes to which organization (the charity, the publisher, and Humble Bundle, respectively), with a minimum mandatory amount to Humble Bundle as the host.

With most manga ebook volumes costing around $7 USD (sometimes fifty cents less, sometimes a few dollars more), you only need to be interested in three of the volumes available in the complete bundle to justify the cost—and the total bundle has 63 volumes! That's around twenty-nine cents per tankoubon.

You can find out more information about the various series at the Humble Bundle link. Definitely worth checking out if even one of the titles catches your interest, IMO.

This bundle will close in about three weeks.
