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
Group shot of our heroes sitting around the coffee table. Focus is on Bert, who is speaking. Drenkowski is sitting somewhere to the right of Bert. Arana is close to his left side.
Bert: Okay, let's recap:
Bert: Mac, Nisa, Ernie and I will be transported to the Groom Lake facility by Commander Drenkowski in his almost-invisible spaceplane.
Drenkowski: The Free Bird.

Panel 2
Closer shot on Bert, angled so we can also see a smiling Arana.
Bert: Yeah, great name suggestion, Arana.
Bert: The Commander will keep the motor running, while the rest of us go in to get Neanne and Nowra.

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Bert.
Bert: The rest of Nowra's family were shipped home a couple of decadays ago.
Bert: That simplifies things, but it also tells us we may not have a lot of time.

Panel 4
High angle shot of the whole group again, Bert gesturing as he speaks.
Bert: Ernie and I will act as lookouts and provide suppressing fire – but only as a last resort.
Bert: We want to waltz in and out with nobody being the wiser.

Panel 5
Shot including Tobi, flanked by Nisa and Mac, listening to Bert.
Bert (OP): Nisa and Mac will go in and locate Neanne and Nowra, and escort them out.
Bert (OP): We'll comm Nowra when we land so they'll be ready.

Panel 6
Final group shot, lower angle, focus on Bert. Some of the characters will have to have their backs to us.
Bert: Ernie and I will cover the rear, then Drenkowski will fly us out.
Bert: Easy peasy, lemon-squeezy.
