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
Interior of the Water Bros. Office. It's about 12x14 feet, has two desks with the usual futuristic accessories, some filing cabinets, a dart board, a sofa, two extra chairs positioned somewhat hap-hazardly. Walls festooned with photographs, plaques, etc. although not so many as in Reggie King's office. Most of the photographs are of the Ice Hammers hockey team and players. Show a hockey stick propped up in a corner. There should be a back door. (not everything has to be in this panel)

We see the brothers from behind, walking into their lair.

Ernie: Sorry about the 'Kessel Run' comment ...

Ernie (2): Last night I was in the total immersion VR re-release of Star Wars. I played the Han Solo role.


Panel 2
Medium 2-shot of Ernie and Bert. Ernie is his usual devil-may-care self, Bert is getting exasperated.

Ernie: Anyway, we got the gig.

Bert: Ernie, we don't have a ship, Millennium Falcon or otherwise.


Panel 3
Ernie holds his left index finger up in a classic 'aha!' pose. Bert has a hand on his own forehead like he's getting a headache.

Ernie: Yeah, but Reggie has a burner-tug that he rents out to newbies until they can afford to fab their own.
