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
Inside one of the habs, Scouts (boys) are packing up gear and personal belongings.
Caption: After 8 days, it was time to go home.
Caption: After a final breakfast in the boys' hab, everyone packed up their personal gear, plus hand-gear used to map, analyze, poke and prod Eight-Ball.
Panel 2
In the control room of Sweet Liberty, Ernie lounges in his pilot's chair, chatting with Libby via t-comm.
Ernie: A meeting in the girls' hab?
Lilly (filtered): The Scouts called it. You can keep watch on the ship while I see what this is about.
Panel 3
In the girls' hab – packed ruck-sacks and boxes all around. Lili floats in a semi-spherical cluster with the Scouts, all in their suits but without the helmets (remember, no gravity to speak of).
Emily: We've been talking among ourselves about this ...
Libby: We think our new little world needs a name with more dignity than 'Eight-Ball.'

Panel 4
Medium shot of Lili and some of the Scouts – the kids are getting raucous but she sits serenely amidst it all.
Emily: Black Beauty!
Libby: Darth Vader!
Scout 4: Mordor!
Scout 5: Stygia!

Panel 5
In the foreground left, Jim is putting on his helmet. The rest of the Scouts and Lili are behind him, too engaged in their debates to notice him.
Scout 6: Kahless!
Scout 7: Admiral Harris!
Emily: Hell, no!
Scout 7: Sorry, Emily.

Panel 6
Jim is carefully climbing the ladder up to Sweet Liberty's airlock.
Jim (thought): So Ernie likes to make jokes about me and my gang? I've got a joke for him.
