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
Pablo at his desk, bracing with both hands and arms spread far apart against the desk edge.
Pablo: Oh good. They may sell their personal effects to cover part of their debt.
Pablo: After that, they will have to work it off as they have agreed.

Panel 2
Cut to the three defendants, who are looking a bit uncomfortable. We can see a few spectators behind them.
Pablo (OP): Usually with miscreants who have insufficient funds we give them a track-and-disable collar that cannot be removed.

Panel 3
Cut back to Pablo. There's extra dialog in this panel so leave room for it.
Pablo: If they don't get a job we can indenture them to the highest bidder.
Pablo: There are contractual protections against physical abuse, dangerous work, and so forth.
Pablo: However, the jobs are usually dirty and difficult. Farm animals are often involved.

Panel 4
Cut to medium close-up of Merry, nearly shouting.
Merry: Sv. Rosenberg, I cannot countenance slavery!
