"Since he was a child, Acacio do Nascimento was a different boy from others. He rather playing with dolls to playing soccer, the hula hoop interested him more than cowboy pistols. Scared by the possibility of their son was a homosexual, Mara and Galdino submit Acacio since he was five years old to several treatments for him to become a normal boy like the others. In 1990 the World Health Organization (WHO) stopped considering homosexuality a disease. Based on this understanding, a 1999 resolution by the Brazilian Federal Council of Psychology prohibited professionals from applying therapies to try to change sexual orientation in Brazil. Even so, the so-called "gay cure", time and again, comes into the spotlight due to the greed of those who aim to profit from ignorance and prejudice. Conservative groups want to subject perfectly healthy people to abusive treatments and, often, homosexuals themselves subordinate themselves to medieval methods to live up to the expectations of others. Blessed Cure narrates Acacio's life through the decades since the 60's. Each chapter shows the provocations of other children at school, the awakening of his sexuality as a teenager, the demands of his parents for him to fit in with the standards dictated by the majority, the beginning of his adult life, the first time he falls in love with another man, the persecution of the Brazilian military dictatorship against LGBTQ+ people, the prejudice in the workplace and the dilemma between following his most intimate instincts or going according to what society imposes and marrying a woman. Discover if Acacio will keep on living a heteronormative life he never chose for himself or if he's going to live his truth."--Amazon

Mark Stafford is a cartoonist, the co-creator of the graphic novels Cherubs! (with Bryan Talbot) The Man who Laughs, Lip Hook and the Bad Bad Place (With David Hine) alongside a teetering pile of other comics work. He has designed beer labels, theatre posters, record covers, t-shirts and at least one mural. He has twice been chosen to collaborate with the British Council on projects in South Korea and has been the long-standing and ill-defined cartoonist-in-residence for the Cartoon Museum in London. Salmonella Smorgasbord is a collection of his best comics work, illustration, art and design in one book. Long lost and hard to find strips from small press titles, magazines and anthologies have been gathered, restored and been given a fresh lick of paint, never before printed portfolio pieces and never completed graphic works have been finished off and spruced up, paintings have been scanned and restored, previously homeless works have been housed. The result is a heaping helping of horrible, a diabolic dinner of degenerate delights, a Salmonella Smorgasbord, if you will.

"Urban Tails" is a collection of autobiographical comics strips. It tells the story of daily life in Tel Aviv, Israel, through the eyes of a lesbian family dominated by cats. Mom 1 - the writer and illustrator - is busy with her art, Mom 2 - her girlfriend - is obsessed with her psychologist and therapy, and Rafi and Spaghetti - their two talking cats - are busy with cat stuff but also with political and social issues. Rafi, being black and the only male in the household, becomes a social activist who fights for justice, and Spaghetti promotes Feminism - long before "Me too". The subject matters vary, from music to grandparents, falling in love with straight girls, Obama, cockroaches, Jewish holidays and much more, while at the heart of every one of them, there is the lesbian relationship of the two moms that is presented as normative. In addition, the comics tell the tale of the main affairs that took place in Israel and around the world during the six and a half years it was written, drawn and published. The opinionated cats and their human moms bring up controversial issues such as military operations and gay issues with humor alongside lighter issues like fashion and reality tv. The collection of Hebrew strips was published in 2014 in Israel by Pardes publishing house, after appearing weekly in City Mouse magazine between the years 2006-2013.

But what price will be exacted by The Bad Bad Place? David Hine and Mark Stafford, the team responsible for The Man Who Laughs and Lip Hook, bring a new tale of dreams turned dark, and a mother''s soul blackened with revenge.
