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
Chang and Ed in Ed's recovery room.
Ed: They have autodocs on Terra, don't they?
Chang: Officially, no. Nanotech, biotech and AI 'expert systems' are largely banned on Earth.

Panel 2
Chang and Ed.
Chang: If you had gotten the same wound on Earth, you would have died, for real.
Ed: 'Officially …?'

Panel 3
Medium shot of Chang.
Chang: It's an open secret that the rich and politically connected buy Martian autodocs; they always have them nearby.
Chang: Not the same here, I take it.

Panel 4
Ed and Chang. Ed speaking, Chang just looking thoughtful.
Ed: They're everywhere. Everybody has them at home.
Ed: Ditto for work-sites, stores, theaters, restaurants, transportation hubs, and so on.
