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
Wide panel. On the street in downtown Ceres City. In foreground right, Alexander Smith walks along, taking in the sights. The Pale Man follows about 50 feet behind him. Arrange the panel design so that the focus is on The Pale Man.

Caption: The Pale Man found the irony delicious.

Caption (2): He was an 'iceman' – criminal argot for a hitman.

Panel 2
Switch angles so that we see the Pale Man in the foreground left, Smyth walking away, carrying his attaché case, in the background right.
Caption: Those Water Brothers 'icemen' were going to lead him directly to the ultra-secret location of his contract.

Panel 3
Now Smyth is in the foreground again, but the camera angle is low and the focus is on his attaché case. The Pale Man can be seen following behind.

Caption: But first, he had to find out what Smyth intends to deliver to his boss.
