KISS Kompendium
In ‘77, blood from each member of the rock band KISS was drawn by a registered nurse and poured into vats of red ink used for printing the band’s first comic book. It was created by Marvel legend Stan Lee and was the beginning of a hugely successful KISS comic book franchise. All are now out of print.
Now, for the first time, the KISS Kompendium combines the most breathtaking KISS comic books into a lush oversized collector’s compilation. Brought to life by graphic illustrations as riveting and hardcore as the band’s real-life fire-breathing line-up, the Demon (Gene Simmons), Starchild (Paul Stanley), and the other band members’ superhero alter egos defeat evil in over 1200 pages of stunning KISS comics!
This is a book authorized by KISS. KISS founding members Gene Simmons, a rock legend and star of A&E’s Family Jewels, and Paul Stanley have contributed the forewords to this. The book also includes exclusive never-before-seen backstage photos from KISS’ newest tour along with commentary by the band-members.
This is a must-have for every KISS fan eagerly awaiting the band’s new album, their first in over 10 years, and a perfect holiday gift for comic-book lovers to pour over time and time again.

5 Stars KISS Kompendium rocks
This book went above and beyond my expectations. It is so cool to have something from my younger days and the current stuff all together. It is great having all the comics in one book. The art work is amazing and the stories just rock. LONG LIVE KISS!!!
2 Stars One for the fans…
Bought this to have a copy of the original 1970s comics that I loved.
Unfortuantely, the print on this run is so dark, you can barely read the text - smudged on some pages.
Really disappointing…
I thought about returning it, but I put it down as one of those “internet purchasing disasters”!!

5 Stars I had to wait 30 years
This is what any fan of kiss has waited all his life. This book is truly amazing. If you did not buy the comics when they were published this is the time. Enjoy it.
5 Stars Great Comic!
I bought this book for my brother, who is a major KISS fan, and he has not put it down yet. This is one of the thickest books out there so I figure he will be reading for a while.
I don’t know very much about the KISS history but I have skimmed through the book and read a little bit and I can say, as a comic book fan, that this is a great read. The artistry is top notch and the book flows from page to page nicely. I can’t wait until my brother is done reading it because I will pick up reading where I left off.
Also, I chose the free shipping option from amazon and I received the item well before the expected delivery date and in perfect condition. Good job amazon!
I would highly recommend this HUGE book to any KISS fan and any comic book enthusiasts who want to read something a little different; all at a great price.
