Kiss members to fly solo in new comics mini-series


Classic Kiss characters The Demon, the Starchild, the Catman and the Spaceman are to get their own special dedicated comics next year.


Due in March, the four-issue Kiss mini-series is being produced by IDW Publishing. The first comic is dedicated to Gene Simmons’ Demon character and its storyline is inspired by the song Radioactive on Gene’s 1978 solo album.

Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer, says: “Issue one sees the Demon taking on none other than the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, and no one draws widescreen apocalyptic action better than Angel Medina. It’s a thrill to have Angel back in the Kiss fold.”

Medina illustrated the Kiss Psycho Circus comics that were published from 1997-2000.

You probably remember that all four Kiss members released solo records back in ’78. Besides Simmons’ Radioactive, we’ve chosen three songs from the other members’ albums that could be the basis for great (well, below average at best) comic storylines.
