Meng and Ecker
''Meng and Ecker'' was a British underground comic written by David Britton and illustrated by Kris Guidio.〔Greenland, Colin (March 12, 2003). "The Thursday Book: A Wallow In The Sump Of The Popular Psyche". ''The Independent''. Comment; Pg. 21〕 It was published in 1989 〔http://www.savoy.abel.co.uk/HTML/meng1.html〕by the controversial Manchester-based company Savoy and lasted for nine issues before being banned in 1992 under obscenity laws.
==Concept==
The characters Meng and Ecker were inspired by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.〔Foster, Jonathan (July 30, 1992). "Legal challenge on seizure of anti-Semitic fantasy". ''The Independent''. Pg. 5〕 Authorities pulped thousands of copies of ''Meng & Ecker'' after finding the book "obscene and likely to corrupt."〔McCrum, Robert (March 16, 1997). "The Week In Reviews: Books: The Bare-Faced Cheek Of It". ''The Observer''. Pg. 16〕 In finding the comic obscene, the judge said, "This comic could be read - and possibly gloated over - by people who enjoyed vicousness and violence. It had pictures that would be repulsive to right-thinking people."〔Guardian staff. (July 31, 1992). "Lord Horror Book Is 'Not Obscene'". ''The Guardian''. Pg. 7〕
Meng and Ecker also appeared in three controversial prose novels written by Britton: ''Lord Horror'' (1990), ''Motherfuckers: The Auschwitz of Oz'' (1996), and ''Baptised in the Blood of Millions'' (2001). The first novel, ''Lord Horror,'' was the first book to be banned in the United Kingdom since Hubert Selby's ''Last Exit to Brooklyn'' was banned in 1968.〔 and is to date the most recent book to be banned in the United Kingdom. Today the book is difficult to find and expensive to purchase from used book dealers.
