“The Land of Khyscz”

Marvel Super Special #5 brings rock legends KISS into full superhero mode, with Bob Larkin's cover painting depicting all four band members — in their signature stage costumes and face paint — leaping into action against a massive, grasping hand belonging to a menacing, fanged villain whose sneering face looms large on the left. The dynamic composition captures the Catman, the Starchild, the Demon, and the Spaceman mid-battle, rendered with vivid energy against a swirling cosmic backdrop. As a bonus, this 1978 oversized special includes a full-color, four-page pull-out KISS poster — making it a genuinely fun artifact of the era when rock and comics collided at Marvel.
