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
Reggie is talking to Harris through his computer/comm screen. Wide screen, leave room for dialog. If possible also show Guy (from front or back, whichever makes sense), to re-establish the scene.

Reggie: It will be difficult, but I promise you...

Reggie (2): I will take steps to insure complete cooperation from all levels of my government, with your command and UW dominion.

Reggie (3): I will don an environment suit, walk to the homestead you destroyed, board one of your shuttles and allow myself to be taken prisoner.

Panel 2
On the bridge of the Gamma Conqueror, Harris smiles derisively.

Harris: Very well, your majesty. I shall meet you personally upon your arrival on my flagship.

Panel 3
Reggie at his desk. His comm screen has gone blank, the connection ended. Reggie is leaning with his elbows on his desk, resting his forehead against his palms. In the far right of the panel we see a bit of Guy's head, faced towards Reggie.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Reggie has gotten up and is walking around his desk, headed towards the door. Guy is looking confused.

Guy: Reggie, do you have a government or don't you?


Panel 5
Reggie has stopped short of the doorway, bracing himself somewhat shakily with one arm against the doorjamb.

Reggie: Guy, I had to buy time.

Panel 6
Reggie and Guy. Reggie is looking very queasy.
Reggie: That was … a performance. I think it was the best and most important performance of my life.

Panel 7
Suddenly Reggie drops to his knees, vomiting.
SFX: Hrrrraaaalllggh!
