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
Robyn in a courtroom, facing a rather bored-looking judge.

Caption (Robyn): 'In court, I told my side of the story, but the judge couldn't've cared less.

Caption: 'I was tried and convicted of felony assault on an officer.'

Panel 2
Also in the court room, in the gallery, we see Robyn's parents. Her mother is a diminutive east-Indian; her father, a white New Zealander. Both look distraught, and helpless.

Caption: 'My parents are not wealthy, but they hired the best lawyer they could afford.

Caption: 'Not that it did me any good. There was nothing anyone could do.'

Panel 3
Robyn, downcast and in shackles, is escorted out of the court room by a pair of guards. In the background, we see her parents, looking completely distraught. Mother sobs in father's arms, both of them surrounded by friends who try to comfort them.
Caption: 'That was the last time I saw my parents.'


Panel 4
Robyn and some other older children, still in shackles, are escorted by guards across a spaceport tarmac towards a waiting lunar shuttle. Make it look utilitarian and depressing.
Caption: 'I was sentenced to five years at the Lunar Kiddie Slammer.'
