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
Three-shot of Rosenberg, Guy and Pierre. Rosenberg has his arms crossed. Pierre still looks upset. Bamboo stalks in background.
Rosenberg: Sv Leboeuf, Guy tells me that back on Terra, you were a master swordsman and won many tournaments.

Panel 2
Closer two-shot of Rosenberg and Pierre. Rosenberg is making his point; Pierre looks flustered.
Rosenberg: Sv Freeman has no experience with swords.
Rosenberg: Does that sound fair to you?
Rosenberg: As it happens, Sv Freeman has never seen a blacksmith's hammer until this morning.

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Pierre, thinking quickly.
Pierre (thought): This Freeman has 15 centimeters on my 167, but he is lanky with not much musculature.
Pierre (thought): I have just come from Earth, where everything weighs 36 times as much. The hammers should not be a problem.

Panel 4
Pierre stands up to Rosenberg with chest out, chin up, looking ready.
Pierre: Okay, where do we stand and what is the signal to start?
