Kiss, the iconic rock band that emerged from the vibrant streets of New York City in 1973, embarked on a remarkable journey that would cement their place in rock history. With their electrifying stage presence and a catalog filled with heavy, hook-laden songs, Kiss quickly became one of the most popular and best-selling bands in the world. Their music resonated with audiences of all ages, captivating both hockey arenas and football stadiums alike.

To celebrate the band's 50th anniversary, renowned rock journalist Martin Popoff has curated an exquisite book that delves into the 50 most significant milestones of Kiss's illustrious career. This richly illustrated volume features a sturdy hardcover format, stunning concert and candid offstage photography, images of memorabilia, and a gatefold Kiss timeline. Popoff takes readers on a journey through the decades, covering the band's formation on the New York club scene, their fortuitous signing to the Casablanca label, their infamous TV appearances, the formation of the famous Kiss Army fan club, and their mega tours in support of their albums.

The book also delves into the interband conflicts and personnel changes that shaped Kiss's journey, as well as their 1980s "unmasking" and innovative marketing strategies such as comic books and the Kiss Convention. Each of the landmark studio LPs is given its due attention, providing a comprehensive overview of the band's musical evolution.

The result is an epic tribute to one of the most influential and admired bands in rock history—in a milestone year. Kiss's legacy continues to inspire new generations of musicians, and this book serves as a testament to their enduring impact on the music industry. Whether you are a die-hard fan or a music enthusiast, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to relive the extraordinary history of Kiss.
