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
Ext. scene, a location on the outer surface of TLP's air skin, some place not close to Damocles Station, but still near the equator. The Pale Man's personal transport pod settles to the skin's surface.
Pale Man (thought): Now, that's strange.

Panel 2
Pod is stationary just a few inches above the surface. The canopy has slid back to reveal the Pale Man in his environment suit
PM: At this altitude there should be some light gravity, but I can't sense any gravity at all.

Panel 3
The Pale Man has emerged from the pod. Hanging on his belt is a hand-held maneuvering unit, which something like a futuristic spray-paint can attached to a sprayer gun, which has a small bell-shaped rocket nozzle at the firing end. He has two large semi-auto pistols, holstered in thigh rigs on each leg. He's reaching back into the cockpit for something else.

PM: WTF is going on here?


Panel 4
Three-shot of Bert, Ernie and Tobi at the patio table. Tobi is suddenly disoriented, swaying in his seat. Ernie reaches out to grab his shoulder.
Ernie: Hey, you okay?
