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
Looking over Tobi's shoulder at the brothers. Bert has pulled out his hand-comm, Ernie is holding the side of his goggles as he activates their built-in HUD.

Tobi: I'm sending your comms a live video feed from Commander Drenkowski's speed-burner.

Panel 2
Close-up on Bert's holo-screen which nearly fills the panel. We can see the stealth ship laying in a wide crack in the berg. It is still camouflaged to look like ice.

Tobi: (OP) As you can see, he has found your stowaway, a craft in a crack on the berg. It sure looks high-tech.

Panel 3
Cut to Drenkowski in the cockpit of his speed-burner. His eyebrows are raised in appreciation for what he's seeing.
Drenkowski: Hell, Tobi, this is the latest in advanced military stealth technology.
Drenkowski: Can I have it?

Panel 4
Cut back to Tobi at the patio table, hand stroking his chin, looking bemused.

Tobi: Finders keepers. Just be careful securing her, she might be booby-trapped.

Drenkowski (filtered, from someone's com): Thanks, boss. This thing may not be over yet, though, so check six, you hear?

Panel 5
Looking over Tobi's shoulder at the brothers, who have deactivated their comms.

Bert: He's telling you not to trust us yet, right?

Tobi: Of course, that's his job.

Panel 6
Medium shot of Tobi, looking thoughtful

Tobi: I don't know, is it paranoia if it's your job?

Tobi (2): If you don't mind, the girls will continue to hang onto your guns for now.

Panel 7
Four-shot of the brothers, looking up at their lovely guards.

Tobi: (OP) Also, they'll be your guides when I'm busy.

Tobi: Hey, it could be worse.

Panel 8
Same shot, now the brothers are grinning at each other, and the girls are starting to smile a bit.

No dialog.
