Starring super-notorious musclebound punk/metal dudes Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins (with a little help from super-notorious soft-rockdudes Hall and Oates)Henry & Glenn Foreveris a love story to end all love stories!
The premise of this comic is explained in the beginning: Henry and Glenn are very good 'friends.' They are also 'room mates.' Daryl and John live next door. They are satanists.” What follows is made up of ultra-metal violence, cryfest diary entries, cringing self-doubt, and mega-hilarious emo-meltdowns. Who knew Danzig was such a vulnerable, self-conscious sweetie-pie? Who knew Rollins was such a caring spouse? Who knew Hall and Oates were so infernally evilyet so considerate? Well, illustrating/writing team Igloo Tornado (featuring super-awesome comix dude Tom Neely) did and they kicked down 66 illustrated pages telling all. Genius on all fronts. Terrifyingly cute. Cutely terrifying.
As the real-life Rollins says, quoted on the back cover, Has Glenn seen this? Trust me, he would not be impressed.”
One of my favorite uses of satire is a comic book that depicts me in a romantic relationship with rock vocalist Glenn Danzig. I have never opened a copy; I am happy to live the rest of my life never knowing what happens to the two of us in those pages. I am told that in the story, our neighbors are Hall and Oates! If I were to find that anything less than hilarious, then I am in the wrong business. Henry Rollins,LA Weekly
I didn't think it was very funny. I thought it was a very crappy, opportunistic book. People are extremely stupid. Glenn Danzig, in an interview withRolling Stone
I wouldn’t be the neighbor, but I’d be the Satanic cult! Daryl Hall

An unauthorized work of fantasy, but so are the 'official' personas of Rollins al"
