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 the hearing room, Emily finishes her response to Pablo's previous question. She's still looking defensive, but a tear is falling down one cheek. Behind Emily, we can see Madame Defarge, still knitting, still listening intently. We can see the back of Pablo's head in the right foreground.
Emily: I feel terrible, but I was trying to do the right thing!
Pablo: The 'right thing' being, kill him so he couldn't 'weasel out of'' punishment?

Panel 2
Medium shot of Emily, looking as much like she's convincing herself as she is anybody else.
Emily: I – I ... yeah, that was the right thing if he was guilty.

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Pablo, wearing an accusatory but otherwise calm expression.
Pablo: Please Emily, you killed a man, because you were angry and vengeful, not because it was the right thing to do.

Panel 4
Full shot of Emily, seated in her chair with arms folded across her stomach, looking at the floor in front of her, rocking back and forth. In the audience behind her, Madame Defarge is looking at her knitting.
Pablo (OP): You were wrong, and a man died.
