Big Head Press: Graphic novelists

In a short few years (2003-2013) Big Head Press has published a dozen graphic novels. Many of its stories appear as serials first on its web site, before finding their way into gorgeous print editions. Although artist Scott Bieser has drawn the majority of the books, they are written and illustrated by several authors and artists. Some of the authors include L. Neil Smith, with three original stories (Roswell, Texas; TimePeeper; and Phoebus Krum) and an adaptation of his Prometheus Award-winning novel, The Probability Broach.

Other authors include Sandy Sandfort (whose ongoing Escape from Terra series has reached three volumes), Steven Grant, Mike Baron, Rex F. May, and Susan W. Wells. Stories have ranged from an indictment of the drug war to alternate history, plus science fiction set in the far future, and an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey.

One of the current projects is written and illustrated by Scott Bieser. Quantum Vibe is a far-flung tale set in a future world with both libertarian and statist characters, all of whom have very personal motives, needs, and fears. During the week, one new page is added to the site, and usually my day begins by reading the latest page in the story.

If you like graphic novels, I highly recommend the Big Head Press catalog: art, adventure, libertarian content, and much much more.
