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
Cut to just underneath the airskin. The Pale Man is pulling himself through the gash he has cut in the skin, fighting against the air pressure.

Put a little head-shot of Tobi in the upper left corner to indicate he's the one talking in the caption box.

Caption (Tobi): 'Okay, he's cut a hole in the skin big enough to lower himself through.'

Panel 2
The Pale Man is now a dozen meters below the air skin, drifting slowly downward. He has his hand-held maneuvering unit out, and firing it at an upward 30-degree angle (to both slow his orbital velocity and push himself a bit downward)

Caption: 'Now he's taken out a hand-held maneuvering unit and is firing it to move himself down towards the Little Prince.'

Panel 3
Cut to Bert, Ernie and Tobi at the patio table. Tobi is gazing at a slightly upward angle and looking a bit puzzled.

Tobi: Hmm. I don't see any signs of a parachute.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Bert and Ernie, both looking towards Tobi (who is not in this frame). The brothers are both looking somewhat alarmed.

Bert: Don't you get it?

Ernie: He doesn't know about the black hole …

Bert: … and the high surface gravity it generates!
