From the back cover: 'The gnostic collective known as The Process Church of the Final Judgment added a dark, apocalyptic edge to the mid to late '60's, a time otherwise known for its peace and love. Conspiracy theorists maintain that the Process Church was a dangerous, even murderous, cult, deeply affiliated with Charles Manson, who contributed an essay to the notorious "Death Issue," included within. Graphic artists say that the Process Church's thematic color magazines were boldly imaginative and decades ahead of their time. Issues of these thematic magazines are extremely rare, and when auctioned sell for over one thousand dollars apiece. This edition, limited to 1,200 copies, reproduces the best and most controversial issues in their entirety. Also included is the essay, "The Gods on War," written by the cult's "Omega," which reveals how Jehovah, Lucifer and Satan have become filled with apocalyptic vengeance against man....A discussion with the magazines' art director Timothy Wyllie is also included.'.
