Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

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
Medium close-up of Reggie King, shouting into a T-comm. He's wearing lounging clothes, of which we'll see more in a moment.

Reggie: Aliens!

Reggie: Are you crazy?

Panel 2
On the control deck of the Split-Tail, focus on Doris speaking into her comm while Fiorella looks on from the background.

Doris: Maybe so, Reggie, but check the vid I'm sending to your comm.

Doris: That's what our recorders picked up.

Panel 3
Medium shot of Reggie, sitting in an easy chair in his suite aboard the Delta Free. He's now holding the comm in front of him so it can project a holo-image of the Moai-asteroid.

Reggie: Okay, I've been to Easter Island – Rapa Nui to the locals.

Reggie: That rock is a ringer for one of the Moai I saw on a hillside.

Panel 4
Closer shot of Reggie.

Reggie: But UFO debunkers demonstrated years ago how it could all have been done with the primitive tech available at the time.

Panel 5
Cut to Doris, medium close-up.

Doris : Okay, but who made this big one out here in the Belt?

Doris: It sure wasn't spacefaring Polynesians.

Panel 6
Exterior shot of the Delta Free, in space.

Reggie: [sigh] Doris, there's something fishy about all this.

Reggie: I'd check it out personally but I'm aboard the Delta Free, still almost two decadays out from Ceres.

Reggie: May I hire you to keep an eye on what the UW is up to with this thing?

Panel 7
Cut to Doris, smiling amiably:

Doris: Sure, Reggie. I'm curious too, so I'll give you a 25% discount on my regular per diem.

Reggie (from comm): You're a lady and a scholar. Keep me posted.
