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
Side-shot of Norman at his desk with Robyn sitting across from him. He's leering at her suggestively. She's sitting back in her chair and glaring at him.

Norman: You are especially lucky, because I am going to give you a special treat.

Norman: In two days there will be a total eclipse of the Moon.

Panel 2
A diagram of what Norman is describing: the Sun on one side, the Moon on the other, with Earth in between casting its shadow on the Moon.

Caption (Norman): 'From our perspective, it will be a total solar eclips as the sun passed behind the Earth. This one will be even better, because the Moon will be at its closest approach to the Earth.

Caption (Norman): 'It will be quite spectacular, I promise.'

Panel 3
Medium shot of Normal, sitting back in his chair with his arms resting on his desk, looking across at Robyn (OP) levelly.

Norman: I want you in my personal quarters at 22:00 on Thursday.
Norman: When you arrive, another of my personal assistants will see to it that you have a nice bubble bath and access to a little makeup and some dressy clothes.

Panel 4
Medium shot of Robyn sitting sullenly in her chair, looking back at Norman through smoldering eyes.

Norman (OP): Then the three of us will have an 'eclipse party,' where I will demonstrate several interesting solutions to the 'three-body problem.'
Norman: Capiche?
Robyn: Oh, I understand, Mr. Norman.
