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
Re-establish the scene of Bert, Reggie and Guy at the conference table.

Caption: Guy Caillard is shocked when ‘King Reginald’ presents him with a claim against United World for 80 billion Continentals.

Guy: It says funds are to be paid to an account in the name of the King’s Court Unfortunates Fund.

Guy (2): How can that be? Much of the 80 billion is owed to individual citizens.

Panel 2
Two-shot of Reggie and Guy. Reggie looks like the cat that caught the canary. Guy looks trapped. Lots of dialog so leave room.

Reggie: All of Ceres is held in free socage to the King, who exercises only temporal dominion in his role of stewardship over the land for the people.

Reggie (2): So it all belongs to the Crown, one way or another.

Guy: But that’s not democratic --!

Panel 3
Pan left for a 2-shot of Bert and Reggie. Bert has risen to his feet, palms on table, in mock outrage, while also casting a sideways glance at Reggie. Reggie is looking distracted, not looking at Bert.

Bert: Doesn’t your UW tolerate and support all sorts of worthless royals on Terra?

Bert (2) Sorry, uh, Reginald, present company excepted.

Reggie: No offense taken, yadda yadda.
