"Martin Atchet" is based on Peter Milligan's adult graphic novel "Skin." It is the story of a boy named Martin, deformed from birth by thalidomide (a prescription drug that many pregnant women took to alleviate the pain of childbirth in the 1970s) seeking revenge on the corrupt drug company executives who profited from the medicine that destroyed his chances of having a normal life. The graphic novel was originally banned, but was eventually published by Tundra, though it is now out of print.

Thanks for putting this together, I've been listening to this song for weeks without knowing the meaning behind it.

is this the same stuff like the contergan children who had no legs or arms?

He might have looked like a wanker who couldn't wank but he was one of us. We called him Martin 'Atchet.

@OneManArmy1421 Since it looks like you have it, can you post the comic up on youtube? Kinda like a digital comic

Possibly one of the best songs/stories I have ever heard. The motto of that poor little fucked up dude should be carried out in real life. I don't care if I sound terrible. People need to be held accountable for their actions. Especially if they effect others around them.

Great video, never knew the background to that song!
-

it's out of print, but eBay and Amazon occasionally have used copies if you're willing to make an investment.
