Salmonella Smorgasbord

Mark Stafford

A compilation of comics, art and graphics by the cartoonist Mark Stafford, collecting his small press books, magazine strips, anthology contributions and previously unpublished works under two covers for the first time.

Salmonella Smorgasbord also contains a hefty selection of Mark's illustration work, as well as theatre posters, record covers, beer labels and t-shirt designs, cartoons, collaborations and other flights of fancy. From the rare and unforgettable to the obscure and inexcusable, if he rendered it, it would all be here. Apart from the stuff he left out.

This edition includes a foreword by David Hine and an interview with Mark Safford conducted by Jason Atomic.

Praise for this book

well-paced sense of monstrous sickliness. - AP2HYC
decidedly chilling and disturbing Lovecraftian fable of vengeance, madness and things that go bump in the night - Mass Movement
Gene Ha: Mark is a cartooning supernova, with his mercilessly cool drawing and painterly color & design, along with his dry & twisted British sense of humor. I'm amazed by every new piece by him.
Mike Mignola: Dark and creepy and funny and just beautiful - I love everything about Mark's stuff - One of my favorite all around cartoonists. One of those guys that inspires one minute and the next you want to hang it all up cause there is just no way you can ever measure up.
Shelly Bond: [Mark Stafford] bowled me over with his art and his bowler hat!
