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
Two-shot of Ed and Carlos, Ed is ticking off his second finger.
Ed: Two, it's too heavy for you.
Ed: What do you weigh? 65 kilos? This gun has just too much kick for your mass.

Panel 2
Focus on Ed, ticking off his third finger.
Ed: Three, it has too high a muzzle velocity.
Ed: In the Desert Eagle, a .50 AE has a velocity of 438 meters per second.

Panel 3
Looking past Carlos at Ed, who waxes professorial.
Ed: That's a good percentage of Ceres' escape velocity of 510 meters per second.
Ed: In fact, if you fired it east at the equator, Ceres' rotational velocity would add another 94 meters per second and your round would leave Ceres forever.

Panel 4
Two-shot of Carlos and Ed, ed takes a sip of his drink as he finishes his mini-lecture. Carlos looks defeated.
Ed: In any case, your rounds will go just too damned far.
Ed: No telling what damage a stray round could do.
