Wizard Magazine #85 is out as of last week, it came
with 9 Kiss Psycho Circus stickers. On the cover is
Wolverine and Superman, with a small pic of Gene and
Paul at the top. Other Kiss mention in this issue was
a bit surprising, but very cool- On page 108- Top Ten
heroes and Villains- #1 was Batman, #4 was Spawn and
#10 Was None Other than the Demon Himself from Psycho
Circus. Also of mention Kiss Psycho Circus is still
in the top ten most ordered back issue catagorie,
with Psycho Circus #1. It is Now the 4th most back
ordered comic in the country.(Note last month it was
#2). Also Psycho Circus #11 was the 42nd most ordered
comic in the country for the month of June. X men
#358 was number 1.

The new Spencer Gifts limited edition Psycho Circus
Action Figures have hit the shelves at a Spencers
near you. I purchased a set yesterday, these Spencer
Exclusive limited figures are Identical to the non
limited figures. The only difference for the Spencer
exclusive ones is that they come with a little black
plastic album. The album reads "Spencer Gifts special
edition, 1 of 12,000". That is the only difference. I
personally think it is a bit cheesy, But there will
only be 12,000 people that can have a set, so I had
to buy 'em.
=====================================================
To hear Kiss' new song Psycho Circus , head over to
Roth's Kiss rendezvous, Roth has it up on his site in
wav format. Check it out, before its gone.
=====================================================
Psycho Circus Tour NEW COSTUMES
I just saw a pic of Paul Stanley with his new
Washburn Guitar on KissAsylum web site. Paul is
wearing an almost Identical 1976 destroyer costume in
the picture, holding his new Guitar. I would only
guess that this will be his new costume for the
Psycho Circus Tour. Why else would he make a new
costume? There is no other reason, so get ready to
see 1976 Destroyer costumes for the Psycho Circus
Tour. So I guess that means that the rumor of the
costumes being like the comic characters and the
action figures are false.
===================================================
I saw the Psycho Circus action figures at Toys r
us(Warwick, Rhode Island) for 9.99 each. Hopefully
Toys R Us will have this price everywhere.
===================================================
Toy Fare 13 is now out in stores. This is what the
cover looks like.
This magazine also came with a poster of the four
Psycho Circus action figures. Very similar to the
cover.
====================================================
Check Out Previews Magazine the July 1998 issue,
on page 137
Here is page 137
. There you
will see an add for the
Psycho Circus trade Paperback.The trade Paper back
will be comming soon.( Notice on the page,
the Banner near the bottom
. It is
of all four
members, the first one being Peter Criss. It looks
identical to the cover of issue #10. My guess is that
this is what the four covers will look like for the
destroyer four part series cover art.)
If you are interested in seeing how it looks, check
out page 137 of the July issue of
Previews magazine.
Also in Previews Magazine Check out page 138 for a
full page color picture of what the cover of Issue 13
will look like.
Here is page 138 from
Previews-
====================================================
The comic guide Wizard #85 will have kiss Psycho
Circus stickers along with it. That issue is due out
in August. there will be 9 stickers total- the first
4 are- 1 for each member,the next four are like
this-
and the last one will be the Psycho Circus logo.
To see these stickers click on over to Wi
zard World(Note:The pics on these stickers
are the same as the banner in Previews july 98 issue
pg 137. My guess is these will be the same pics for
the covers of the Destroyer 4 part cover art because
the cover of issue 10 is the same Peter pic and the
cover of issue 13 is the same Ace Pic, see above
about Previews july issue for a better
explanation)

Updated Sunday June 28
The Psycho Circus action figures have hit stores.
They first appeared in stores on Friday June 26. I
purchased a set Friday at Spencers in Lincoln, Rhode
Island. The set cost me $16.99 each. 2 out of 5
spencers in my area received the figures and they
were sold out in hours. Note:These were not the
limited, numbered (1 - 12,000)edition that Spencers
will be selling exclusivly. Spencers has still not
received the numbered sets yet. They say that they
will be receiving them mid July.
I also have heard some one in Vancouver bought them
at a KBtoy store. So go look and call around they are
out there, very very limited, but they are out
there.
Some things I noticed that are different from what
the figures looked like in the promo photos:
The Animal wrangler - He has a kiss logo on his
shirt, and the leopard that comes with him has a star
over his right eye.
The Beast Master(Peter)- His cape is different(not as
fur like)
On all of the others, the only differences I really
notice are that the coloring is darker, they are not
as bright and cheery looking as the photos make them
look. When you see the actual figures I think you
will like them a lot more.
=====================================================
Wizard #86 will have its cover done by Angel Medina
and Kevin Conrad. Also inside it will have a mini
booklet dedicated to Kiss and Psycho Circus the tour
with an exclusive interview with Gene. Due out in
September.
=====================================================
Psycho Circus issue # 10 is out - it
begins a four part series-
entitled "Destroyer"- the 4 issues 10 - 13 will be
about:
"The chains that bind the four who are one to the
Psycho Circus have been shattered and chaos threatens
the universe. With the Gypsy witch and the Avatars
helpless to prevent the gathering storm, salvation
comes from a very unlikly source." Each issue will
also be dealing individually with one of the four
different members. Also each cover will focus on one
character each and when you put the four covers
together, you get one big poster, because they will
all connect like the solo album posters did.
=====================================================
Kevin Conrad(inks) of Psycho Circus appeared
at the 12th annual New York Kiss expo in Hackensack
NJ Sunday April 26 1998. He met met with the
fans and signed autographs. I got a chance to sit
down with him at the expo for an interveiw, To read
