Fly-by-night operators - Miscellaneous

(This is a Maxipost)

Hey hey hey Barbarians! This is the final chapter to my previously published two parted posts on fly-by-night publishers, yours truly in this post will spotlight on publishers whose details have been difficult to come by, since tracking physical issues from these publishers/line are difficult,information is scarce about many of these publishers and sometimes neither are their series details available nor their end date or start date.
The premise for including the names of the publishers included in this list are, Print Run, shelf life and a common language (English).
This post is a compilation and will be a work in progress, information will be updated as and when available.
