Skin is a 48-page graphic novel written by Peter Milligan, created and drawn by Brendan McCarthy and colored by Carol Swain.
It tells the story of a young skinhead, Martin Atchitson, who grew up in 1970s London with thalidomide-related birth defects.
Milligan has said the story partially addresses "universal themes of major companies shafting people, and corruption in terms of drugs and mass marketing.
"[1] Skin was planned to be published in the 2000 AD spin-off magazine Crisis in 1989, but the story's controversial subject matter and explicit language made the publisher, Fleetway, uncomfortable.
Dark Horse Comics reprinted Skin in 2013, as part of the trade-paperback collection The Best of Milligan and McCarthy.
