For disabled people in Bulgaria, the cultural and political legacy of medicalization and institutionalization continue to define everyday realities, from the inaccessibility of infrastructure to the lack of support for mainstreaming children’s education.

Ryan Prout

With Jonathan Clode, Ryan Prout is one of the originators of the All is Not Well project. He has enjoyed reading comics for as long as he can remember. He began using graphic novels in his teaching in the 2000s when comics crossed over into the human interest section of the Spanish press and literary scene. He has written about sequential art by creators including Paco Roca, Miguel Gallardo, Bef (Bernardo Fernández), and Francisco Ibáñez. ‘Loss of Habitat’ is one of his first forays into writing for comics. He is still learning about how to create dialogue for sequential art.
