- "The cover of the second issue of A Mosca immediately delivers a warning: 'For Adults and Perverse Children', and its contents are packed with sex and sin. Erotic and personal advertisements fill the cover, overlaid with an image of fellatio being performed on the Clérigos Tower!
There are some delightful advertisements, such as this one: 'I am married, 37 years old, a doctor, clean and very attractive, discreet. I would like to meet a transvestite who is affectionate, sweet and very feminine. Or an attractive woman, regardless of age or colour, who can teach me how to make love. I would also like to get in touch with a lesbian or a lesbian couple and join them. I have my own house and car. Coimbra.'
The insistence on cleanliness is a recurring feature of these advertisements, which is rather surprising amid so many dirty intentions and desires!
The first comic, Safe Sex, by El Pepe, recounts an American's escapades in Bangkok, involving Thai children and a television tuned to the Playboy Channel.
Vladimire Smith presents Tânia, a comic featuring dialogue and scenes reminiscent of pornographic magazines such as Gina and Tânia, which circulated widely during the 1970s and 1980s.
Janus, Portugal's most notorious underground comic artist, presents Amor de Pai ('A Father's Love'), unleashing unspeakable desires, madness, incest and death.
At first, everything is sweet and pleasant; then come music, alcohol, sex and finally death, in an alcohol-fuelled vision in The Serial Killer, by Jorge Matos.
Zac depicts the revenge of a hotel employee against guests who complain and make unreasonable demands.
Mário A. offers a repetitive sequence of images featuring the smiling face of a man wearing a cowboy hat, accompanied by random text with no apparent attempt at coherence.
Finally, Blam! Blam!, by Nikopaul, brings the issue to a close, as the fly circles above the bloodstained floor."
