"There is some evidence that delinquent behaviour is actually lessened by 'bad reading'."- Findings of Psychologists at Brown University. With minescule exposure to the genre, am still none the wiser what these books are like to read. I'd hope they were the lewd equivalent of the shudder pulps in that, if the stories couldn't always live up to the titles, blurbs and colour paintings, they were seldom dull. One thing for sure, between them Justin and his coherts - PF regulars Lynn Munroe, Tom Tesarek, Jim O'Brien, Scott Carson, Brian Emrich, and the Religious Archives Network (!) - have contrived a wildly entertaining spin-off magazine from such risqué subject matter. Now regular columns 'Updates: Cover scans that I'd had in time for previous issues' and, especially 'The Phallic symbolism Column' set the tone - we're not talking hard-core porn, but this stuff is never going to be mistaken for Mills & Boon. At least half of #3 is devoted to the Mid-Tower obscenity bust centring on the comparatively mild, certainly by today's standards, Sex-Life Of A Cop, and the cover art of the gifted Bill Edwards (see Passion's Greatest Trap), a rodeo rider and sometime TV star whose credits include appearances in The Virginian and Magnum PI. For this reader, the issue's outstanding article is Lynn Munroe's impassioned celebration of Richard Sloan's often scary artwork for Merit Books ( The Pervert is but one classic example). Lynn would have it that Sloan was "a freaking genius of the dark side," and on the evidence of the gallery provided, he'll get no disagreement from me.

Is that a man knitting? And a woman smoking a cigar? What sort of twisted mind could conceive of such filth? I need a shower.
