Oz, the most iconic and controversial counter-culture magazine of the sixties and early seventies, covering subjects such as feminism, gay rights, racism, sex, drugs, rock music and the Vietnam War. The magazine's use of visually striking graphic art and innovative printing techniques (including fold-out posters, metallic foils and new fluorescent inks), and provocative photographic images, was accompanied by equally provocative editorial content. Issue 28 (the 'School Kids' issue), including a very adult Rupert Bear, led to obscenity charges being brought in 1971 against the three editors, a trial described by John Mortimer, counsel for the defence, as 'standing at the crossroads of our liberty, at the boundaries of our freedom to think and say and draw and write what we please'. The three were found guilty, but their convictions were overturned following appeal.
