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
Closer shot of the Newsreader, asking what he thinks is a pointed question.
Newsreader: But Professor, how can there be a specific location in the Belt with all those asteroids just whizzing about?

Panel 2
Closer shot of Harmon, patiently explaining to an idiot student.

Harmon: It's fairly straightforward.

Harmon: Every object in the Belt, or anywhere in the System, has unique 'orbital parameters': aphelion, eccentricity, inclination, etc.

Panel 3
Close-up of Newsreader, trying to look like he's following but, not really.

Harmon (OP): So, with a bit of math, you can define an orbit and then compute where the object is in that orbit at any given time.

Panel 4
Harmon again.

Harmon: However, we share no common language, math or 'epoch' with the alie … with whomever carved those runes and diagrams.
