This may be the first book bundle I buy from them in a year or two. This is much better than lightly outdated tech books and incomplete comic collections.

I have never read Heartbreak Soup or Barefoot Gen though so can't speak to their quality or if their complete run is included. Barefoot Gen at least is called Vol 1, so I would assume there is more.
You are completely right, but at least that is not all there is to this bundle. I am actually shocked that Saga is a challenged book. It's a beautiful piece of work from every angle you look at it.

We've gathered an awesome group of publishers for a bundle of banned, challenged, or just plain controversial books.
The only controversy mentioned on the book's Wikipedia page is that the author refused to publish it in Israel. I wouldn't say that makes the book banned or challenged. Controversial, I guess. This in no way explains why it's not available here.
The book is available in both original and translated version from several Norwegian online book stores. Maybe this is just a case of copyright madness, but I've never seen this happen on Humble Bundle before, so that also seems odd.

The color purple not available in my region. Nice to know exactly how far their commitment to supporting banned books goes.
