'KISS Kompendium' Features Bassist Gene Simmons

KISS frontman Gene Simmons was in the studio to talk about the new KISS book KISS Kompendium.

KISS Kompendium is an eye-popping compilation of the previously out-of-print Stan Lee Marvel comic book adventures of the legendary heavy metal band, as well as the famed Psycho Circus and Dark Horse editions and KISS's own KISStory.

Featuring artwork by Todd McFarlane and other acclaimed graphic artists and fully authorized by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, KISS Kompendium coincides with the release of the latest album and includes candid, never before seen photos from the recent KISS tour and from the band members’ personal archives. Here is the perfect gift for every comic book lover, rock music aficionado, and KISS fanatic on the planet.

Simmons is best known as "The Demon" -- the blood-spitting, fire-breathing, and tongue-wagging bassist. The 60-year-old co-founded the group in the early 1970s. KISS just came off a sold out world tour and the band has released a new album as well a few months ago that was their first Top 5 album.
