It does raise a question, however, of how much of later Manton is actually his rather than someone unknown copying his style in the endless quest for more material which characterises Rossett’s various imprints over the last third of the last century.

It was published in two series: the first (1971-1980) was numbered in yearly volumes of twelve issues each, ending with Vol. The stories situated at the Woody Back to School Unit are works of adult fiction based upon the real-life fantasy games played by the author, R Humphries and his wife, the inimitable Jojo. Significantly these are not ‘cut and paste’ copies, but rewritten episodes redeveloping the story each time with varying participants. One of Thomas’ other published works is Rotten to the Core , a biography of the sadistic murderer Neville Heath, published in 1988. Although I like the idea of spanking pretty women and I love panties I always identified with the girl being punished.It was a color drawing, not a picture, of a man and a woman, face down, side by side and nude and secured to something flat (I forget what) with a woman dressed in black with a whip to one side. JW covered sexually titillating court cases, the salacious testimony of brothel madams, the tearful confessions of prostitutes and so on. At this stage I have not done a bibliography on the Blue Moon and subsequent reprints which are a mess with altered titles and fake authors, although there is some new material such as “Max”.

The editors of Janus, while carefully seeking to stay within the law, found it hard to ascertain exactly what was and what was not acceptable. This is a characteristic of Mantonia, the re-appearance of characters and their chastisements re-written rather than copied. This story is a sequel to Days at Florville and tells the continuing story of Lesley this time as the slave of Anton and Mano. Janus appears to have commissioned very little original photography in its early years, even after the introduction of colour pages. Bunty receives a spanking after her stepmother finds some incriminating letters from a boy in her bag.

The girl in a white vest and knickers is a teacher who has been regressed by the headmaster to schoolgirl for an OTK spanking followed by the cane.

It doesn’t matter whether the tale is set in the antebellum south of the United States, Victorian or Edwardian England or in the south of France in the nineteen-thirties, Elaine Cox, Cara Jolly, Noreen, Maggie and the ubiquitous Lesley are likely to appear in leading or cameo roles. If she was unaware her dad was “into” our kink and didn’t plan for me to discover the book, I don’t want to “out” him; on the other hand, if it was her plan for me to find it, I’d like to explore it with her.

A man who began to follow Elaine Cox home from school two years before she was sent to his reformatory must be excused passionate feelings for her. Although I’ve heard of Janus, perhaps the best-known of all spanking magazines I was curious to find out more about that world of spanking magazines. The first focused on bondage, rubber and leather fetishism, the second on spanking and the third on lingerie. The name may simply have served as an editorial pseudonym; it appeared in the masthead of later spin-off magazines such as Gordon Sergeant's Privilege Plus.
