KISS Makeup Playing Cards (1 Pack of 52 Regulation cards)
KISS took on the personae of comic book-style characters: The Demon (Simmons), Starchild (Stanley), Space Ace (Frehley), and Catman (Criss).
The band explains that the fans were the ones who ultimately chose their makeup designs.
The "Demon" makeup reflected Gene's cynicism and dark elements, as well as his love for comic books.
Paul Stanley became the "Starchild" due to his tendency to be referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" and "hopeless romantic."
Ace Frehley's "Space Ace" makeup was a reflection of him wanting to go for a ride in a space ship and supposedly being from another planet.
Peter Criss' "Catman" makeup was in accordance with the belief that Peter had nine lives due to his rough childhood in Brooklyn.
