Che G[ue]vara is Dead ... Long Live Guevara / While Dad’s Away, Mum Will Play

London: Oz Magazine, [1968]. Offset on both recto and verso. 32 x 20 in. Very good; four fold lines from folding into eighths, and four open tears (< 1 ½ in.) along folds at outer margins, where the poster was originally stapled to the magazine; these tears have given the poster a slight hourglass shape. Item #6852

Rare two-sided poster published in Oz Magazine no. 8, issued in January 1968, two months after the death of Che Guevara. The first side of the poster was surely meant to be a psychedelic homage to the revolutionary, but notoriously printed a gruesome picture of the dead revolutionary and misspelled his name. The caption under a color halftone photograph of his corpse and printed eulogy reads, “Geuvara is Dead … Long Live Geuvara!” A wholly unrelated sex-cum-swingers-cum-psychedelic-porn poster, “While Dad’s Away, Mums Will Play,” is printed on verso.
