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
Terry picks up her glass from off the table and hands Leon his. Leon looks hurt, if we can see his face.
Terry: Okay, lecture over. So what's the latest lurch of our zig-zag plan, Stan?
Leon: Ouch!
Panel 2
Above-knee shot of Leon, still hurt.
Leon: Come on, Terry. It's not as though we've changed our plan willy-nilly.
Leon: The government keeps changing the rules and moving the goal post. We have had to change with the changing times.
Panel 3
Small panel. View of Terry, rolling her eyes.
Leon (OP): So anyway, I am almost totally sure...
Panel 4
Leon, a bit nervous at Terry's reaction from the previous panel.
Leon: Uh... assuming nothing else comes up...
Leon: ...a week from Friday a triple Highball Express launch will take you, me, the last of the crew and a boat-load of supplies and and equipment up to the ISS.
Panel 5
Closer shot of Leon. He raises his glass to his lips to take a drink.
Leon: Two of the three-member skeleton crew are in on the plan. The third, Svetlana Ruzayevka, will be given the chance to join us.
Leon: If she doesn't want to go, she will be sent home in the Soyuz, that's currently on station.
Panel 6
Looking down on Terry, who has sat down on the bed, taken Leon's hand, and is looking up at Leon.
Terry: What's to keep her from reporting us if she doesn't want to go?
Panel 7
Leon smiles down at Terry in appreciation. Imply that they're still holding hands.
Leon: Good question. If she doesn't want to go to Mars, we isolate her from all the comm gear and put her under 'house arrest' in the Russian habitat.
Panel 8
Small panel. We see them still holding hands, but we focus on Terry's face. She looks dubious.
Leon (OP): We've thought of everything.
