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
Babbette is now sitting with her legs swung up on the bed, partly leaning against Reggie. Reggie is looking surprised.
Babbette: Sorry, old joke.
Babbette: Ernie was reporting that a whole company of UW troops just showed up at the spaceport, and marched over to the Hôtel de Crillon.
Reggie: Wha –?

Panel 2
Babbette explaining to Reggie, who is looking very concerned.
Babbette: It seems those four that showed up earlier bought the old hotel and the troops just moved in. Nary a shot has been fired.
Reggie: I'll be damned.

Panel 3
Closer-in shot of Reggie and Babbette. Babbette is glancing over at Reggie.
Reggie: I … do you think we should go back?
Babbette: No, no. Ed Turner seems to be on the case.

Panel 4
Babbette and Reggie.
Reggie: I know Ed. He's a sharp cat.
Babbette: Apparently so. Ernie said he managed to arrange some sort of Christmas party between the locals and the troops.

Panel 5
Reggie and Babbette. Babbette is putting her arms around Reggie in an amorous gesture.
Reggie: Oh, that's right – it's Christmas on Terra now. I'd forgotten.
Babbette: You forgot Christmas? I suppose you forgot my present, too.

Panel 6
Reggie and Babbette fall into a cuddle-tangle, gazing hungrily into each others' eyes.
Reggie: I had your present with me all along.
Babbette: Great! Now, where were we …?
