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
Two-shot of Smyth and Babbette, pulled back so we see a part of an empty cafe table in the foreground. Babbette is gesturing towards the tables. Smyth turns to look towards the tables, and is still looking a bit confounded but maintaining his British Stiff Upper Lip. A classic John Cleese bit.

Babbette: Bert and Ernie run the ice business.

Babbette (2): Please have a seat in the café and I'll let you know they're here.


Panel 2
Smyth takes a seat at an open table. Have him sit at a table roughly in the middle of the cafe, two tables away from the booths along the wall opposite the bar, and facing away from those booths. He places his attaché case in the chair to his right. There is no one at the table between him and the booths. The Pale Man moves to the booth directly behind Smith.

No dialog.


Panel 3
Medium close up of the Pale Man. He is removing a small round device from his jacket pocket, while discreetly glancing sideways.

No dialog.

Panel 4
Reverse angle. In the foreground, we can see the Pale Man placing the device on his table and pointing it at Smyth. In the background, we see Smyth from behind, being offered coffee by Emily Rose. He is holding his hand up palm outward in polite refusal.

No dialog.
