One Dollar Sale Continues!

Hard to believe it, but Big Head Press published it's first novel, over 20 years ago. To commemorate our stubborn longevity, we continue to stubbornly offer each of our non serialized graphic novel stories for just one mere American dollar (plus shipping). Start your holiday shopping early and light up some body's mind with one or more of these titles.

Offer only available in the United States.

Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

Panel 2
Smyth stands, shaking hands with Ernie, who along with Bert are now at Smyth's table.
Ernie: Ernesto Guzmán. Call me Ernie. And this is my brother, Bert.

Smyth: How do you do.

Panel 3
They are now seated. Ernie is at Smyth's left, Bert sits across from Smyth

Smyth: I hope I've come to the right place.

Smyth (2): I don't know anything about ice mining, but several excellent references led me to you.

Panel 4
Change angle to behind slightly above Bert. The three are leaning forward a bit, conspiratorially. We can see The Pale Man at his booth, with his gadget on the table.
