The KISS Kollector Magazines of 1998. The year in which the long awaited new album by the orginal line-up was recorded and released and the new KISS Kollector Fanclub web site went online right here! The Second Coming, the much anticipated homevideo of the KISS 1996-1997 Alive/Worldwide Tour also saw the light of day. And last but not least of course, KISS started their 1998-1999 Psycho Circus World Tour in Los Angeles on Halloween night.
