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 shot of Bert kneeling in the top center of the Mass Driver; around him, the three hoppers are nearly full. He's calling out to Ernie who is on the ground out of frame.
 
Bert: Okay, Ernie, let's take a break.
Bert: I think we're almost there anyway.
 
Panel 2
Medium shot of Ernie standing on the ground, looking upward at Bert (who is out of frame now).
 
Ernie: This is absolutely insane, isn't it?
Ernie: I think we're probably going to die on this Rube Goldberg, rock rocket.
 
Panel 3
Bert, atop the Mass Driver, leans back in the center seat-made-from-a-hopper.
 
Bert: We have a shot if we throw rocks at Ida.
Bert: Stay here and we die for sure.
Bert: I'd … I'd like to see Mom and Babbette again.
 
Panel 4
Ernie bending over to pick up another large rock, this one about 30 cm in average diameter.
 
Bert (OP): So let's take that shot.
Ernie: Yeah.
