well.. there were these, and tho not emblazoned with "Collectible" they were absolutely intended as collector's issues.

and if you can find them, they have not only retained value, but increased (despite many reprints avail), due to the collectors of KISS memorabilia, in addition to the comic collectors.

I've been looking for that at a decent price myself. I'm not a huge KISS fan, but (A) Gerber is my favorite writer, (B) I just found out they sang "Hard Luck Woman" which is a really good song, (C) How can I NOT appreciate a guy who dresses like a Jack Kirby character, makes Steve Ditko hand gestures, and references both of them by name.

I remember there was a Kiss book from Todd MacFarlane in the '90s that was "hot" (according to Wizard Magazine) - despite the fact that Kiss were.... not at the peak of their popularity.

yeah, Gene always has been a huge comics fan, so that showed thru in a lot of what KISS did, and why they did the comics in the 1st place.

if you just want to read them, there are a lot of reprints avail, as I mentioned. . but the initial runs are the collectible ones, due to the posters/articles included as well.

heck, the 2nd comic (I posted that cover too) is the one that harder to find, not because the story was better (it's not), but because to get the poster out, you had to dismantle the whole magazine!. . so that ones harder to find complete)
