This Just Doesn't Look Sterile

KISS Adds Their Blood for Marvel’s KISS Comic Book - May 26th, 1977



A shameless attempt at getting publicity for their new comic? Absolutely, but the four painted rockers and their management were kings when it came to marketing themselves. It was a fun story that supposedly led to blood being added to the red ink of Marvel Comics Super Special #1: KISS, and the news outlets ate it up.

I've still got my copy with "Real Kiss Blood..." allegedly...

My copy went MIA many years ago. Along with the albums. (Maybe MIA is the wrong word. Possibly "dumpstered" might describe it better).

They could've put worse things in the ink !!!

I have my copy somewhere too, no doubt impregnating the other comics in that plastic crate.

How can you let that go MIA, MD? This sounds like some woman making room for her stuff at your expense. I would rent a storage space and live in it before I got rid of any of my treasured junk.
