An outrageous satirical publication which shocked Australia and England during the 1960s, Oz magazine concentrated on social satire and regularly depicted politicians, royalty, and other public figures in an irreverent fashion. Articles of more serious socio-political content were accompanied by humorous cartoons and other artistic material.
In Australia, the editors - Richard Neville, Richard Walsh, and Martin Sharp - were charged under obscenity laws. In England, Neville, Felix Dennis, and Jim Anderson were put on trial for corrupting public morals. Oz finally ceased publication in 1973.
