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

Two-shot of Bert and Ernie. Bert is staring inwardly. Ernie is looking upward.
 
Bert: So we're stranded millions of klicks from home and we can't call for help. Little Toot could be half way to Vesta by now.
 
Ernie: No, she's not.
 
Panel 2
Bert glancing over, somewhat surprised, at Ernie, who is still looking upward.
 
Bert: She's not what?
 
Ernie: Little Toot is still right there, Bert. I can see her with my optical enhancements.
 
Panel 3
We see what Ernie sees: Dactyl fills the frame; in the center is the deep crater/cave in which is parked Little Toot and her shuttle. A short distance away is another, smaller and junky-looking spaceship, along with the smaller and junky-looking shuttle we saw earlier with the two pirates sitting in it. We also see some reticular lines indicating that we're looking through an optical device.
 
Ernie: I can also see our shuttle, another shuttle and a piece of junk prospector ship.
 
Panel 4
Two-shot of the Brothers.
 
Ernie: No, they're not leaving anytime soon. They're gonna sit in our little cave, breath our air and eat our lunch.
 
Ernie: In a few days, they'll be back to grab the mascon.
