The first issue of this zine was released in 1989, and more issues followed in the 1990s. It was a photocopied, cut and paste publication and each issue had a different coloured cover. It is a large size zine (8 1/2 by 11 inch) which was used to feature full page illustrations and comics, along with articles, stories, interviews and many clippings of the strangest and most bizarre events reported on in newspapers and magazines. The editor is a tattoo artist, so the zine also includes many photos of his artistry. There are also many reviews of recordings, magazines, books, and comics.

The first issue was co-produced with Amy Grant and Dead. In issue two, the editor explains how they have both quit over the content in issue one, specifically an illustration by Urania 2235.

Deagnon; and artwork and illustrations by A.T.V.S.M., Ehell, Chris Gehman, G.B. Jones and Richard Konik. For this issue F.O.D. stood for Fatal Over Dose.
