    You know what, last night I went out to a bar and I swear I saw Gene Simmons twin! He looked so much like him it was hilarious except I knew it wasn't him when he started singing along to Usher's In da club song. LOL

    Now I feel like a fool, but I totally never knew that Gene Simmons used to edit and publish a comic Fanzine, yet given Gene's obvious interest in comic books...I really shouldn't be that suprised about it. Pretty cool stuff!

    Gene Simmons is an amazing entrepreneur and marketer. He is always on the look out for the next money making venture. I love it!

    Wow look at that! Who knew he was much more than KISS? I never knew he was into comic books to be honest. It makes sense he's a business man!

    I don't even think it's just about business in this case, since he has always come across as quite passionate about Comic Books, and I think it was a natural influence on the comic book like nature of KISS, and the band members personas.

    Thanks for the info. You know I was watching his show for a good deal, funny stuff, but I need to find the channel again. I like the random tidbits his show talks about.

    Gene Simmons Family Jewels comes on A&E. I think they may be between seasons right now though, not sure. I used to watch it too. I was always amazed at how much of a businessman Gene actually is, and how soft spoken he is too. Gene Simmons the person is just very different from the character he portrayed on stage with KISS.

    Gene Simmons seems to be a man of many passions, and KISS and comic books are just two out of many. He is obviously very intelligent and talented, and I think he could do any number of things besides music if he chose to.
