KISS singer bassist GENE SIMMONS has scheduled a signing session for the new official 1,280-page comic book KISS Kompendium, on December 17th at 12:30 PM at Borders (Manhattan, Columbus Circle) in New York City.

Further details at this location.

In '77, blood from each member of the rock band KISS was drawn by a registered nurse and poured into vats of red ink used for printing the band's first comic book. It was created by Marvel legend Stan Lee and was the beginning of a hugely successful KISS comic book franchise. All are now out of print.

Now, for the first time, the KISS Kompendium combines the most breathtaking KISS comic books into a lush oversized collector's compilation. Brought to life by graphic illustrations as riveting and hardcore as the band's real-life fire-breathing line-up, the Demon (Gene Simmons), Starchild (Paul Stanley), and the other band members' superhero alter egos defeat evil in over 1200 pages of stunning KISS comics!

This is a book authorized by KISS. KISS founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have contributed the forewords to this. The book also includes exclusive never-before-seen backstage photos from KISS' newest tour along with commentary by the band-members.

This is a must-have for every KISS fan eagerly awaiting the band's new album, their first in over 10 years, and a perfect holiday gift for comic-book lover to pour over time and time again.

The KISS Kompendium, over 1,200 pages of KISS comics - on sale today, December 8th - is available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, WalMart and wherever books are sold.

KISS has released their new video, for the Sonic Boom album track 'Modern Day Delilah'. Check it out below.

The band shot the video at Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI on Thursday, September 24th.
