Note

• Title from cover. Description based on no. 4.
• No. 3 is the "Mindbending" issue, with Mick Jagger featured on front cover and full page drawing of spider in center of web on back; no. 4 is the "Sex" issue, with photomontage featuring female nudity and men in Klan robes on front cover, photomontage of medieval vision of nude sinners being tormented in hell, with modern soldiers below, the whole surmounted by the figure of Death as a winged skeleton.
• Robert De Grimston Moor, a former Scientologist, was a co-founder of The Process Church of the Final Judgment with his wife, Mary Anne MacLean, also a former Scientologist. Process Church doctrine states that God is composed of four parts--Jehovah, Christ, Lucifer, and Satan--each of whom must be worshiped in succession in order for the worshiper to attain enlightenment. After the divorce of De Grimston and MacLean in 1974, a small group of members followed MacLean, who established the Foundation Church of the Millennium, which later became Best Friends Animal Society.
• De Grimston claimed that it was in Xutl, Mexico, that he first received messages from the gods instructing him to return to London and preach the word of their imminent apocalyptic unification.
• Contents of no. 3 include an interview by Christopher de Peyer with Mick Jagger, accompanied by photographs of Jagger; scientist and physician C.
