Printed by Redback Graphix for the Commonwealth Department of Community Services and Health, in association with Aboriginal Health Workers of Australia (Queensland), [1989] (second edition)/ [1987].
The 1987 poster bore the ‘Use Frenchies’ instead of ‘Use condoms’ caption - the proponents must have realised by 1989 that the term ‘frenchies’ (French letters) were hopelessly outdated!

‘A colour screen printed poster featuring a superhero like character called Condoman, who is of Indigenous appearance, and wearing a red and yellow suit with a large 'C' on the chest. The poster shows him standing in front of a stylised beachfront setting, with a packet of condoms in his hand. In a comic style white speech bubble is the message “Don’t be shame, be game!” A blank/white triangle shape appears at the lower left corner, and may have been intended to show the Redback Graphix logo. Designed by Michael Callaghan.’ (TROVE).
