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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
High-angle shot of Smyth, Ernie and Bert at the café table.

Smyth: My principal is a very wealthy individual who needs to have several million tonnes of water ice delivered to a planetoid he is terraforming.


Panel 2
Focus on Smyth, but the Pale Man can be seen in the background.

Smyth: This planetoid – code named TLP, The Little Prince – is located in the Main Belt.

Smyth (2): The water is to give TLP lakes and an ocean.


Panel 3
Looking at Ernie and Bert at a somewhat elevated angle behind Smyth. We see the back of Smyth's head, and Ernie and Bert listening to him intently.

Smyth: He is prepared to be quite generous if the job is done quickly, efficiently and discreetly.

Bert: Well, actually, we are ice miners ...


Panel 4
Three shot of the three men at the table, so that we see them floor-to heads and can see Ernie kicking Bert under the table.

Ernie: ...AND ice transporters. How generous is generous?
