Edited by Richard Neville, and co-edited by Jim Anderson, Felix Dennis and Roger Hutchinson, the magazine was initially produced in a basement in Notting Hill gate and rose to fame when it became subject to the longest obscenity trial in British Legal history in 1971. 


The three editors were subject to numerous police raids and pleaded guilty to the charges. They were sentenced to harsh jail terms, although were eventually acquitted on appeal. The magazine’s use of striking psychedelic artworks and printing techniques such as fold-out posters, metallic foils and new fluorescent inks were innovative at the time. 


Printing was only carried out in black and white when the funds could not be raised for the more-expensive colour. The magazine was also popular for its biting satire on controversial subjects such as sex, drugs, homosexuality, politics and war. 


Covers were produced predominantly by Martin Sharp, cartoons by Robert Crumb, and issues included radical feminist manifestos by Germaine Greer. 


As one of the former Art Directors Jim Anderson wrote: Everything the establishment hated was in Oz. 


The magazine ceased publication in November 1973 due to a £20,000 debt.
