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
Outside the closed door to Wally's room, his parents, Gus and Mary-Francis Cooper, confer about their son. Looks-wise, Wally definitely takes more after his mother than his father. They both look worried, tense.
Mary-Francis: He's been in there almost 20 centimes without even a bathroom break.
Gus: I wonder if he keeps a bucket in there.

Panel 2
Mary-Francis and Gus.
Mary-Francis: This is serious! He's always been sort of – obsessive – since his friend Billy was killed.
Gus: It's been almost a Martian year – you'd think he'd be over that by now.

Panel 3
Mary-Francis looks away from Gus, a bit annoyed by his insensitivity but not protesting.
Mary-Francis: Did you talk to him about getting a job?
Gus: I did, three days ago.

Panel 4
Mary-Francis and Gus.
Mary-Francis: And –?
Gus: He said, 'Job? What's a job compared to a calling?'
