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
Sort of wide panel. We the Stealth Ship being “absorbed” through the skin. In this shot, the ship is laying flat on the airskin surface, and is also enveloped by the airskin, as if encased in a clear-plastic cocoon.

Caption: The Little Prince's state-of-the-art air skin can absorb objects without losing atmosphere.

Caption (2): When the ship contacts the airskin, it envelopes the craft, then recedes on the atmosphere side to release it.

Panel 2
Close-up of Drenkowski in the Stealth Ship flight cabin.

Drenkowski: Now let's see how this baby handles in atmo.

Panel 3
Full-width panel. Drenkowski takes the Stealth Ship through a barrel-roll (speed lines indicating the maneuver, left-to-rightward in the panel). We can see Damocles many kilometers away, in the upper distance (we're looking at a somewhat upward angle but not straight up).

Drenkowski: Suh-weet!

Drenkowski (2): Commander Drenkowski to aerodrome, ETA 1 – ah – make that 2 centimes.
