Mark Kennedy began compiling The Misfits Book, a massive discography
that was first published in 1993 (Library Of Congress registration number
TX-3-977-282). This same discography was used as a reference document in the
1993-1994 lawsuit to regain the right for Jerry and Doyle to perform and record
as The Misfits. |

Rob Flemming and Ryq supplied almost ALL of the Misfits guitar tab currently
available on the Internet. Meanwhile, Mark Kennedy, Brett Fama, and others
were busy figuring out and typing up lyrics to all Misfits songs. These lyrics,
errors and all, were then used by Caroline Records in the Collection
II and The Misfits Box Set releases. |

Glenn Danzig first learned of the existence of Misfits
Central. During a Verotik appearance at Golden Apple comics in
Hollywood, CA, Ryq asked Danzig, "Did you know there was a site on the world
wide web dedicated to The Misfits?" Danzig replied,
"Yeah? It's probably all bullshit anyway." |
