The late Robert Michael “Bobb” Cotter was a graphic designer. In addition to having written several books about comics and film, he wrote a monthly column for Creepy Classics. He lived in Pittsburgh.
“This decent-sized 242-page opus is filled to the brim with
information on pretty much every release relating to the Misfits
and its rather huge musical family that you can possibly think of,
and the best part about the book is that the wonderfully geeky yet
skilled writer Mr. Cotter guides us through the history of the band
from beginning to end too, thereby placing each release in a larger
historical context. In other words, there is a red thread running
through it all and the author's own perspectives on all things
Misfits as well as his thoughts on each album and single and so on
are often hilarious and make for a great read. Actually, the irony
and sarcasm that sneaks in quite often is arguably the most
charming part of the piece and there were so many phrases and
paragraphs that had me in stitches. … I dig Cotter's creative style
of writing as his enthusiasm and passion with respect to the
subject matter shines through on every page, which is certainly
commendable. …valuable… As a huge fan of the horror punk pioneers,
this one came in quite handy for yours truly and it is worth
checking out if you are either a serious collector or simply just
looking to start collecting a few Misfits items and need a bit of
guidance in that department.”—Eternal Terror
“The Complete Misfits Discography is filled with the compiler's
understanding, good humor, and insight into the band and its unique
history. It well deserves the 2020 ARSC Award for Excellence it
received for Best Discography in the category of Best Research in
Recorded Rock and Popular Music.”—Association for Recorded Sound
