THIS MONSTER MAG IS FOR ADULTS ONLY!


MONSTER MAG
Vol. 1 No. 3
1974
Top Sellers, Ltd.
Editor: Roger Cook
Art Director: Gordon Winchcomb
Cover: Photo cover
Pages: 8 ( Plus pull-out poster)
Cover price: 20p (British Sterling)

After seeing their entire UK inventory of the second issue of MONSTER MAG literally go up in flames, publisher Top Sellers, Ltd. and editor Roger Cook somehow managed to clear issue #3 with British customs when it landed on UK shores from the printer in Italy. The blood-soaked and gory 'zine now had a "For Sale To Adults Only" banner across the front cover. Inside, however remained the same gruesome fare that the first two issues had been noted for. Disembodied eyeballs, a severed hand (on the giant-sized poster no less) and multiple slashed and bloody necks were on every page. Would mere words on a page keep the wayward youth of the UK away from such trash?
