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
Inside the elevator. They're still fairly high up – outside background is darker towards the top of the frame and lighter towards the bottom. We can't see any horizon. Drenkowski and the brothers are standing lightly on their feet, enjoying the scenery below them.

Panel 2
Same shot. Drenkowski is standing more solidly. They are low enough now so that some clouds can be seen above horizon in the background. The horizon itself is still lower than it “ought” to be and strongly curved. The brothers are standing normally and they use the hand-rail to steady themselves. They look at one another in consternation.

Panel 3
Same shot. Drenkowski is looking bemusedly at the brothers, who are looking decidedly uncomfortable as they struggle to remain standing. Horizon is has just a very slight curve.
