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
Tall panel. In the upper part, we see the underside of the Split-Tail, with its cutting laser aimed directly at the bridge of the Gamma Conqueror. In the lower half of the panel we can see Admiral Harris and the bridge crew through the transparent dome. They are all looking up at the mining ship, the crew with naked fear and Harris with rage.

Caption: Belter mining ships have caught the United World Strike Force flat-footed and have demanded their surrender.

Harris: NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!

Panel 2
Medium shot of Fiorella inside the mining ship Split-Tail.
Fiorella: Okay, Butcher Boy – may I call you Butch? – I can see that you are upset right now, so maybe I should talk to someone who is a bit less agitated.

Panel 3
On the bridge of the Gamma, Harris is in the foreground looking upwards, while behind him the lift door opens and four silhouetted forms can be seen inside.

Fiorella (filtered): I think it would be a very good idea for one of your officers to declare you unfit for duty and relieve you of your command.

Fiorella (2): Then we won't have to kill you all.
