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 1
Re-establish the scene with Reggie standing and the students seated around him. He is addressing Manjula again. She has a wistful, far-away look.

Reggie: Don't you go stir crazy without any stimulation?

Two-shot of Heinrich and the student to Heinrich's right – 'Student 4', who speaks

Student 4: No sir, we have books – old fashioned, paper and ink books.

Panel 3
Looking at Reggie over the tops of some of the students' heads. Reggie's arms are crossed.
Reggie: Okay then, if the music didn't come from inside the Station, where did it come from?

Wide shot of most or all of the students, squirming in their seats and looking nervously at one another.

Panel 7
Elevated angle, from behind Reggie, looking at all the students. They are all looking back at him fearfully.
