The skin in question, by Brendan McCarthy

Skin, by writer Peter Milligan and artist Brendan McCarthy, was a story originally intended to be serialised in the magazine Crisis in 1990, but its subject matter (it concerned a young skinhead born with birth defects due to his mother having been given Thalidomide) and explicit language made publishers Fleetway uncomfortable and unwilling to publish it. At least one printer also refused to touch it, for the same reasons. It was eventually published by Tundra in 1992, and conspicuously failed to cause the downfall of western civilization.
