Not only did they, but Kiss has some of their blood put into the red ink for the first issues of said comic book... fun pointless fact for you there.

Yeah, I heard about that from this book I got last Christmas. Details the entire history of the company of Marvel comics up until, like, 2007 I think? It's a great book, that I'd recommend checking out. It's called Marvel Comics: The Untold Story.
