A weekly rummage in the attic of sci-fi

Crazy, crazy nights... Rock legends Kiss infiltrated the Marvel Universe in 1977 with the debut issue of Marvel Super Special, tangling with none other than Doctor Doom (who we suspect is really more of a Slipknot fan). In a truly audacious publicity stunt the slap-daubed glam-beasts donated phials of their own blood to the printers to capture that perfect shade of rock 'n' roll red. Top that, Jedward, you milky fops.
