Curtains for ‘hormonally challenged’ Monkhouse comic
The edition of Oh Boy! dates from 1949 and shows the young Monkhouse’s superhero creation Tornado battling to save a half-naked woman from a race of slimy-headed aliens called the Kharucha who bear a passing resemblance to giant penises.
It features in a sexually explicit section of a British Library show entitled Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the UK, and comes complete with a parental guidance warning for under-16s.
