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 the exhaust-end of the Mass Driver. Two jet-packs and several chunks of hopper, along with the cutting torch, shoot out of it.
SFX: FOOSH!
Panel 2
At the other end of the Mass Driver, the brothers are laying prone across the bare surface, clinging to small braces that had been used to attack the hoppers, using them as hand-holds. Ernie has his head looking around the side of the MD, looking at Dactyl.

Bert: So, how's it look?
Ernie: …

Panel 3
Medium close up of Ernie looking levelly at Bert.

Ernie: We are going to miss Dactyl ...
Ernie: But we will pass – very slowly – somewhere between 10 and 15 meters off the surface.
Panel 4
Tighter two-shot of the brothers.

Ernie: Bert, that is jumping distance.
Bert: Oh, that's a relief, I thought …
Ernie: Bert, that was the good news.
