KISS Kompendium

The book every mailman must hate

First of all, lets start with the size. It’s huge!!! I could not believe the size or weight of the book when I first got It. The mailman must have been more than pissed when he brought It to my house.

I’m collecting of Kiss comics has been very sporadic during the years. Of course I have the original Marvel comics from the 70′s and the reprints and Kissnation magazines from the 90′s. I also collected about the first half of the Psycho Circus comics in the 90′s without reading them much really. But after that the comics have more or less gone ‘under the radar’. So you can easily say I haven’t been a big Kiss comic fan really. Even of I think the PC comics are really beautiful art wise.

The KISS Kompendium is a really beautiful book. And I have probably read more in the book in the years since It came out that I have ever done in the other comic books. I really like the idea of having all the comic books collected into one big “Kiss comic Bible”. I really don’t like the Dark Horse comics very much. But It’s nice to have collected here with the great Marvel and PC comics. Just the PC comics makes the book worth having alone. When the book also is as cheap as It is, It’s a great bargain and a must-have for all Kiss-fans.

Verdict: 9/10
