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
A half-dozen Scouts, tethered to the guide lines, are planting various devices into the surface. One of them is about 2 meters wide,
The rest are the sizes and shapes of '80s-style home-stereo gear. Lili is nearby, overseeing the work.
Caption: Over the next 5 days, the Scouts worked tirelessly to place solar-powered beacons, transponders, and passive radar reflectors at Eight-Ball's poles of rotation.
Panel 2
Closer-in shot – Lili is pointing at one of the devices, speaking to the kids gathered around.
Lili: When these Solar Positioning System transponders are pinged, they reply with their absolute position in the system, and relative position and distance to the pinging craft.

Panel 3
Lili and the scouts with her – one of them is Libby.
Lili: Large, dark, low-radar-profile rocks like Eight-Ball are an ever-present danger to navigation.
Libby: I guess we've done our good deed, in spades.
