To celebrate the 48th anniversary of the founding of the Church of Satan we are offering a print of our original parody of the famous U.S. Army recruitment poster featuring Dr. LaVey’s saturnine countenance. While we don’t proselytize, we do expect that bright folks will get the joke. The street address of Dr. LaVey’s original Black House in San Francisco has been removed, since it now no longer exists.
