Rupert Murdoch's a Bastard
Rupert Murdoch's a Bastard
Taken from the subversive graphic short story, Barbed Wire Lies, set during the Wapping printworkers strike of 1986 - a precursor to the Attack International graphic novel Breaking Free.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The 1980s and 90s in the UK were the time of Thatcher, mass unemployment, the Printers and Miners Strikes, and Poll Tax Rebellion.
Culturally, supported by a benefits system that allowed creative talent to bloom (and cheap transport), there was an explosion of music, alternative comedy, cooperatives and community theatre.
Campaigns around the Miners Strike and the opposition to the Poll Tax in particular drove a spirit of solidarity and class consciousness throughout communities across the country.
Concurrently, new technologies, for example the launch of the first AppleMac, with its 6 inch screen and Pagemaker software, enabled a new method of design in posters and campaigning posters burgeoned.
We have reproduced some of those posters - posters we saw on many peoples' walls at the time.
The Radical Poster Collective is dedicated to making good quality classic radical posters available at an affordable price.
Our posters are either digitally cleaned up to remove tears or stains etc, or completely recreated to be as close as possible to the original.
We do not have printed copies of this poster. It is just exhibited on our website.
