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 their stateroom, Reggie continues his lecture to Babbette.
Reggie: Three, the inhabitants of the north polar community have the most high-net-worth individuals in the System as the beauty and grandeur of their PTFs demonstrate.

Panel 2
Exterior view – the burner is now turning around, preparing to decelerate the remaining distance to its destination.
Reggie (from the ship): Four, the southern polar community is the largest collection of technological innovators and entrepreneurs anywhere.
Reggie: It's the Solar System's 'Silicon Valley.'

Panel 3
Back inside the stateroom, two-shot of Reggie and Babbette. She's again looking quizzical.
Rosenberg: Plus, the South Pole has the largest community of personal service providers in Human Space.
Reggie: 'Personal service providers' are what we used to call 'servants.'
Panel 4
Now Babbette is sitting straight up with a fist on one hip, pinching her nostrils with the fingers of her other hand and pursing her lips together, in a mocking gesture. Reggie is laughing.
Babbette: But isn't that slavery?
Reggie: Ha-ha! Nice imitation of Merry Petzger.
Reggie: In fact, off Terra, 'servants' are among the highest-paid professionals around.
