You can just see these sitting above the fire place. With Granny in her rocking chair, tattoos sagging, deaf as a post from the years of metal music turned up to 11, watching re-runs of Ozy’s reality TV show.

1977 Marvel Kiss Comic Book Cover. (Notice at the bottom of page saying “Printed in real Kiss blood”
In 1977 Marvel Comics and Kiss decided to do a series of comics called “Super Special Kiss”. To ensure that the comic would sell well, Marvel and Kiss came up with a great marketing campaign. The comic would be printed in real Kiss blood. On February 21st, 1977 the band’s blood was collected at the Nassau Coliseum and delivered to Borden Ink Plant in Depew, New York. Kiss made a special appearance at the plant and mixed their blood into the red ink.

KISS Coffee House Melbourne is set to open on New Years Eve according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald.
The unintentionally hilarious investor proposal states that “KISS CoffeeHouse – Melbourne is the ultimate brand synergy between the hottest band in the world, KISS, and the highly caffeinated, coffee entrepreneur, Steve Agi.’’
Agi plans to spend $1.5 million revamping the vacant Tea House next to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and need to find a few more KISS fans to help him raise $5million bill to cover all costs, including the brand licensing.
Potential investors are promised amazing perks including:
* An invitation to meet KISS and ‘’other celebrities that are part of the KISS entourage’’.
* Membership of the KISS Army.
* Input into the design of the premises.
* First option to take a share in subsequent KISS CoffeeHouses.
* Special VIP invite with five friends to all VIP events, including the grand opening and appearances by KISS.
* Rare KISS merchandise and paraphernalia, ‘’signed personally to the investor.’
The proposal makes several ambitious claims, including a first-year return of between 5 and 10 per cent, and that the value of the $250,000 investment will ‘’double after 12 months’’. It also claims a ‘’risk of failure at ZERO’’.
The Sydney Morning Herald report sagely notes that these claims are “not backed up by financial estimates, costings or an independent report”.
It’s not a totally insane venture; the original KISS CoffeeHouse in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has been successfully selling “rockuccinos” and “rockiatos” in two sizes – gold and platinum – to American tourists since summer 2006.
