KISS

A vertically shot photograph of a full pinball playfield under glass, with the cabinet's chrome side rails and a black lockdown bar across the bottom. The playfield has a black background overlaid with orange, yellow and red flame bursts, white starburst flashes and green serpent or dragon bodies curling down from the upper playfield. At the very top a wide chrome ball-guide arch curves across, flanked by two mirrored robed winged figures painted in the upper left and upper right corners, each with a pale face and raised arm. Below the arch sits a horizontal row of about seven bumpers, each with a white plastic cap ringed with a red starburst and a red post, plus two larger starburst-capped bumpers set lower and further forward. The middle of the playfield carries a bright cream panel with four large black-outlined letters, each containing a red round lamp, flanked by a red arrow pointing left and orange arrows pointing right. Beneath that is a vertical ladder of round inserts: red ones, then cream ones marked with a circled letter, then black ones. The lower playfield is dominated by orange and yellow flame artwork with arrow shapes, and ends in two red-tipped flippers. White instruction cards are mounted on the apron below.

A wide landscape backglass dominated by four rock musicians in airbrushed comic-book realism, strutting towards the viewer across an orange-and-yellow inferno of fireballs and mushroom-cloud explosions. The central figure is a shirtless muscular man with wild black curly hair, black-and-white face paint, a studded black leather harness and studded platform boots, gripping a black angular electric guitar. To his left a man in blue-and-silver face paint and a studded blue outfit kicks a leg forward while playing a black bass. To his right a man in black leather and silver face paint holds a white-and-red angular guitar; a fourth figure crouches on a raised golden platform at far right, and a ghostly pale face with dark hair floats behind the central man's shoulder. Bright green snakes and an open-jawed reptile head lurk at the far left. Bold yellow-bordered black frames edge the glass; a huge studded silver-and-black KISS logo spans the top centre, flanked by yellow-on-black KISS corner logos, a blue cursive script logo in a red-and-white starburst at upper left and a white firework burst at upper right. Grey score windows with orange numerals 1, 2, 3 and 4 sit in the corners, with a CREDIT window at right.

A painted backglass dominated by a large horizontal title banner across the entire top edge, set in tall striped block capitals with red-and-cream candy-stripe fill, blue shadowing and a heavy black outline; a round blue-and-green globe emblem with spread wing or feather shapes sits in the middle of the word, breaking it into two halves. Below the banner the background is a turbulent violet and magenta storm sky with radiating white streaks and a pale glow behind the central figure. The centre figure is a blonde woman in a scanty cut-out costume with a bare midriff, hip cut-outs and thigh-high heeled boots; she faces the viewer with one leg forward, right arm raised holding a long-barrelled sci-fi rifle or spear-gun across her body, long flowing hair. Behind and above her spreads a huge dark winged creature, wings raised in a V, its head and shoulders forming a shadowy silhouette. At lower left a large shaggy purple-brown beast head with a long muzzle and dark eye faces left; at lower right a pale grey-white wolf or hound stands in profile. Six blank white rectangular panels are cut into the art (two upper, two small squares at mid right, two lower). Palette: violet, magenta, red-orange, cream-white.
