Description: Starring super-notorious musclebound punk/metaldudes Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins (with a little help from super-notorious soft-rockdudes Hall and Oates) Henry & Glenn Forever is 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 ultra-metal violence and cryfest diary entries, cringing self-doubt and mega-hilarious emo-meltdowns. Who knew Danzig was such a vulnerable, self-conscious sweety-pie? Who knew Rollins was such a caring spouse? Who knew Hall and Oates were so infernally evil--yet so considerate? Well, illustrating/writing team Igloo Tornado (featuring super-awesome comixdude Tom Neely) did and they kicked down 66 fully-illustrated pages with it. 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."

Review Quotes: 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 with Rolling Stone

I wouldn't be the neighbor, but I'd be the Satanic cult! --Daryl Hall

A little cult-beloved slice of domestic bliss/angst. --SPIN Magazine

"An unauthorized work of fantasy, but so are the 'official' personas of Rollins and Danzig." --LA Weekly

"What if Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig were a gay couple who lived together?" --Vice Magazine

The bigger the fan of each of these guys you are, the bigger the laugh. --Maximum Rocknroll

File under 'ludicrously awesome'. --Just Out

More than a political statement. --Bitch Magazine

Goes beyond the tired and obvious bromance genre. --Carrie Brownstein, NPR
