Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley wanted more from life than the dull careers in accountancy that the world had planned for them. They got their wish when they came into possession of a mysterious box of Khyscz containing four talismans. These changed Gene into a demonic figure who could spit fire; Paul into a “star child” who could fire blasts of energy from his eye; and friends Peter Chris and Ace Frehley into a feline creature and teleporting ”space ace,” respectively. Together, they became known as Kiss.

This 1995 special edition reprints Marvel Super Special #1 and #5. These were the first full comic book stories to star the legendary, costumed rock group, Kiss. Well known as masters of theatricality, the group went so far as to mix vials of their own blood into the printer’s ink of the original special. Although this edition contains no such additions to the inks, it uses modern techniques and high-quality paper to bring out more vivid colors than the original.
