WE GOT BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FIENDS!

Special Documentary Release

Brand new, uncirculated copy

History and Background:

This content of this special issue was created and printed by Ray Ferry in 2009 and was intended to be his final FMOF series issue after being forced to relinquish his trademark after more than 12 years of legal battles.  The issue was to be distributed by the new trademark holder according to a court-sanctioned settlement agreement.  After receiving the files from Ferry, the new trademark holder renegged on his agreement to distribute Ferry's final issue as written and released his own version of #250 instead.

Ferry was later able to obtain the copies of the issue he had printed, but by that time--while he had the legal right to distribute the copies to his customers-- the contentious relationship which developed with the new trademark holder compelled Ferry to rebrand the issue as "We Got By With A Little Help From Our Fiends".  Non-removeable stickers covered all depictions of the FMOF logo and FMOF page footers were etched off the paper

Some years later, a limited number of copies of Ferry's original, unaltered #250 issue became available after some undistributed copies were discovered by a scavenger in an abandoned storage unit.

This copy is a brand new documentary printing featuring Ferry's original uneditied and unaltered #250 content with a new composite rendering of the rebranded cover.  There are no sticker overlays.   This item is offered for its historical significance to collectors.  This issue is not affilliated with the current incarnation of FMOF.
