40 Years ago today, the hottest band in the world played their first gig in a small club in Queens. Click here to read a cool little article called "40 Years Later: The Story Of KISS & Makeup".
What are some of your favorite KISS songs? I don't think they have any bad songs, just some are better than others. I even really like Music From The Elder! I've been a fan of Gene's songs since I was a kid. Some of my favorites are Charisma, Unholy, Mr. Blackwell and all of Gene's solo album.
To celebrate, here are some videos courtesy of KissVEVO.

Here's what he sent me --

More Sketch Cards!
I've added a few hand-drawn sketch cards to my collection over the last few months, so I thought I should share them with everyone. I've also included some older sketches that I've never shared before.

| Boba Fett by Gabe Farber from Star Wars Galaxy 6 (Topps, 2011) |
 |
| Jawa by Linzy Zorn from Star Wars Galaxy 7 (Topps, 2012) |
 |
| Punisher vs Wolverine by Mauro Fodra from Marvel: The Bronze Age (1970-1985) (Rittenhouse Archives, 2012) |

| Anakin Skywalker and Clone Trooper by Lak Lim (I won this card in a give-away from the Sketch Card Fanatics Facebook page, Nov. 2011) |

| Hulk by Kirk Jarvinen (I "met" Kirk through the Mego Museum Forums where we traded some cards. He graciously sketched this card for me in 2008) |
