Kiss: Psycho Circus #5

The four members of KISS loom large across this striking monochromatic Image cover for issue five of Psycho Circus, rendered in moody blacks and grays with subtle purple tones by cover artist Michael Golden. The Starchild takes center stage, arms outstretched and commanding, while the Demon, the Catman, and the Spaceman press in around him in a swirling, otherworldly composition that suits the "Psycho Circus" title perfectly. With "Smoke & Mirrors Part 2" continuing inside from writer Brian Holguin and artist Angel Medina, this 1997 series remains a genuinely fun deep dive into the mythologized world of rock's most theatrically costumed band.
