Details about this comic book:
The Kiss comic you see above has the distinction of being not only the first Marvel Super Special, but also one of the most notorious publicity stunts ever carried out. In order to drum up some serious press about the book, Marvel came up with the idea of using the blood of each band member in the printing of the book. The eternally media savvy group happily agreed and arranged to have vials of blood taken backstage during a New York City area tour stop. Kiss later reconvened and were joined by Stan Lee for a ceremony at Marvel’s publishing plant during which time their blood was removed from refrigeration and mixed with the red ink that was to be used in their comic (a notary was one hand to get the signatures of Gene Simmons, et al to make sure that everything was legitimate). The ploy was a huge success, resulting in huge sales — and the cementing of their reputation as makers of “devil music” amongst the unenlightened. The best part? It would be a fun read even without the aim for 100% customer satisfaction on all of my transactions. If you discover a problem with your purchase, immediately contact me to resolve the problem.
