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
Ed and Chang still standing in front of the Hotel. Ed now has his arms spread wide in a cajoling manner, and pouring on his good-ol'-boy Texas charm. But Chang looks glum, as do the few of his soldiers we can see behind him.
Ed: Chang, I have no doubts about your loyalties, but you are a thinking man, prone to evaluating a situation before acting.
Panel 2
Medium close-up of Chang. Now he looks bitter.
Chang: For all the good it has done any of us!
Panel 3

Two-shot of Ed and Chang. Chang is showing a bit of realization in his face.
Ed: It has done us good, Chang.
Ed: Our people mixed and got to know each other as people, instead of labels.
Panel 4
Wider shot, taking in Ed, Chang, and the troops still standing behind him.
Ed: Look at your troops' faces now.
Ed: I see genuine sadness as your boys reluctantly shuffle back to enforced segregation, away from the fun and friendship in an exotic new world.
Panel 5
Medium shot of Ed, behind him in the distance we can see a dozen Belters standing in the distance behind him (none closer than about 12 meters)
Ed: Ditto for the Belters.
Ed: They got to meet new people in a small-town world where everyone knows everyone else.


Panel 6
Ed and Chang:
Ed: Can you imagine them willingly shooting their new friends?
Chang: Yes, I can. Reluctantly, but you are just as dead if you are shot reluctantly as if you were shot without qualms.
