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
Scene in Pilgrim's bedroom, he's been sleeping but is jolted away by the sound of an alarm klaxon.
SFX: BWAAAARK!! BWAAAARK!! BWAAAARK!!

Panel 2
Pilgrim is hurriedly dressing. On his nightstand is something that looks like a clock radio, from which the announcement is heard.
Announcer: Radiation Alert! A breach in Vesta Power's reactor has been detected.
Announcer: Proceed immediately to your Assembly zone and await further information and instructions.

Panel 3
Dozens of the Mascons are standing in a room under a sign reading "Assembly Zone 3". We can see Pilgrim and Marsha.
Mascon 1: Well, that cuts it.
Mascon 2: These private companies are going to kill us all if we don't take action.
Panel 4
Close-up on Pilgrim, looking very distressed. Leave room for his thought balloons.
Pilgrim (thought): In my childhood, I'd have agreed with him.
Pilgrim (thought): In my Objectivist days, I'd agree governments are necessary for some functions.
Pilgrim (thought): My an-cap side says no, but could dealing with something endangering an entire community, really be left to the free market?
