b/w photo of Algernon Swinburne, looking at camera, his enormous bouffant hair parted, making it look even odder than it already would. He has a wisp of moustache, and a skinny, big-nosed, rodent-y look

ull-pgatc o erng!,Api 98: Never Say Dai! Last week the Heavy Metal world was shaken to its foundations by the news that Welsh crooner TOM JONES had joined forces with TONY IOMMI in BLACK SABBATH. On the surface, this would seem an unlikely collaboration. But the more we here at Kerrang! think about it, the more we reckon… dammit, this could work! Read on, as long-time friend of the band JOHNNIE SMITH brings you an exclusive behind-the-scenes preview of the Tom ’n’ Tone roadshow, and their plans

b/w photo: a White man with a bald or shaved head dressed as a Chinese man with a long pigtail curling round the front of his torso. He is looking off to the left of the image and smiling slightly (and slightly camply) with one eyebrow raised, as if enjoying the joke he is playing on the public

Vermeer’s The Concert — one woman stands by a harpsichord, while another sits at it, playing. Between them, what appears to be the back of a man playing a lute. There are paintings on the wall behind them, and light falling from a window on the left. The floor is black-and-white checks

An early image of Dennis the Menace as he appeared in an annual in 1956 — a boy walks down a residential street, intent on misbehaviour by the look on his face. He is dressed in shorts and a red and black stripy jumper, and has an untidy shock of black hair. He is carrying a tin of paint, and a policeman is looking over a fence at him

A print from a lithograph of a painting, depicting a huge borown horned ox, behing which a man can be seen apparently measuring the beast, while another stands nearby noting down its immense statistics. It is entitled ‘Portrait of T. W. Coke and North Devon Ox’, by W. H. Davis, c.1837, animal painter to the Queen from 1839. The ox was bred at Holkham in Norfolk and was considered to be the perfect specimen.
