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
Wide Panel: Wally's bedroom, at his family's residence. Not your typical teen-aged boy's room – it's kept fairly tidy. Posters on walls from movies featuring famous fictional detectives: Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Nero Wolfe. He's at his desk, gazing at his computer holoscreen.
Voice of Wally's mom (from outside room): Wally? Did you load the dishwasher like I asked you to?
Wally: Yes, Mom.

Panel 2
Looking over Wally's shoulder at the holoscreen. It shows the main page of the Belt Examiner, an online news/blog/tribune (a descendent of the Examiner.com, a network of local news websites featuring articles by citizen journalists in a blog-like platform).
Wally's Mom: Did you re-set the reactor coils like your father asked you to?
Wally: Yes, Mom.

Panel 3
Close-up on the screen. We see a section labeled at the top: Archives: MD 65.130; and underneath, a section labeled “Arrivals Due This Decaday.” and a listing that's too small for us to be able to read, but it's a listing of ship names and scheduled arrival dates.
Wally's mom: Did you feed the cat like, uh, well, did you feed the cat?
Wally: Yes, Mom.
