Bob Larkin: Marvel Super Special #5: KISS (1978)



Forget the recent “Archie Meets KISS” crossover recently published by Archie Comics—this is the only KISS cover you need to look at!

Just a year before he showcased the disco-music superpowers of The Dazzler on the cover of her first issue, Bob helped transform the stage personas of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley into bona-fide superheroes. I don’t know who the Ming the Merciless stand-in is, but obviously he’s the villain—just look at that villainous sneer!

Take THAT, Archie Andrews!

"You wanted the best, you got the best! The hottest band in the land, Kiss!"

The original art is featured in the huge Kiss coffee table book called "Kissology".
