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
In Reggie and Babbette's cabin, Reggie, clad in t-shirt and long shorts, stands and gazes at a wall-sized view screen which is presently showing a view of Venus – from about 20,000 miles away, looming large, with a 'surface' of fast-moving clouds. We can see Babbette, dressed in a light shift, sitting on the edge of the bed in the far right of the panel.

Reggie: Just a few hours left, now. It's been an interesting trip.
Babbette: I'll say.

Panel 2
Swing around so that the focus is on Babbette seated on the bed, with Reggie starting to walk over to her.
Babbette: Between almost getting our cover blown, and all that time we sat in that damned radiation shelter, and that lifeboat drill, I haven't had so much 'interesting' since the War of the Worlds.

Panel 3
Reggie sits on the bed next to Babbette, puts a loving arm around her shoulders.
Reggie: Lifeboat drill – you mean the instructions on how to operate the emergency life-support systems in each of the cabin-sections.
Babbette: We're supposed to just drift in space and hope a burner comes along to rescue us? Sheesh!

Panel 4
We see the embracing couple from behind, silhouetted against the growing image of Venus on the wall screen.
Reggie: Are you sorry you came on this trip?
Babbette: Sorry? I wouldn't give this up for anything.
