In this film, Stuart Samuels plays an evil inquisitor who sentences topless women to be whipped and beheaded by a masked executioner. Alan Bell, the owner and editor of Roue was approached to become editor of Janus and, for a short period (Janus 8-10), he was editing both magazines.

In 1982 Marks left the Janus stable to set up his own fetish magazine Kane which also featured caning and spanking photos. This first Kane International video shoot encountered a number of technical problems and to be on the safe side it was decided to shoot a second movie just in case the first film couldn't be salvaged. One particular girl, Susan Griffiths (who could be described as the “Belle of the class”) was the collective favourite. Her illustrations defined Janus during the 80’s, creating an identity and sense of continuity for the magazine.The editorial team were overwhelmed with the response to the spanking special and published a further three spanking specials that same year. We’re confident Gordon would be delighted to see his beloved creation continuing to prosper into the 21st century. In Danger Girl, a stripping secret agent is put into bondage by a Russian spy; the agent breaks free, ultimately throwing her captor onto a circular saw. It was the end of an era in more ways than one because Van, who had been very ill for some time, sadly passed away.
Marks' and Green's business partnership was dissolved in the same year, and in 1970 Marks was bankrupt. He was fond of good living and a drink or two, and he wanted to go on to soft porn," Green told Tit-Bits magazine in 1995, adding "there was this one film where he was dressed as a dirty old man and he's creeping round Piccadilly Circus, then you see him in bed with this girl". Marks' cats remained a fixture of his studio and can be spotted scurrying about in several of the 8mm glamour films of the period, occasionally even appearing in prominent roles. The title rights became the subject of negotiation during this period and while the ownership was being resolved the editorial team launched Volume 1, Number 1 of ‘New Derriere’ (below left). As access to spanking related material became increasingly more easily available online the Janus publication schedule slowed down with only 4 to 6 new issues being produced each year.
George Harrison Marks was born in London on 6th August 1926, the same day that Warner Brothers released the first movie to have a synchronised sound track.
