Henry and Glenn... FINALLY! forever


A few years back I vaguely remember hearing something about David Bowie and this infamous "I Fucked Mick Jagger" shirt. Somehow I made up in my mind a picture of the two in bed, I had convinced myself it was real. It wasn't This is what was found.
The point of that story was that through those means, real and fantasy, I thought it would be HILARIOUS if there was a picture of Henry Rollins in bed with either Jello Biafra or Glenn Danzig wearing the Jagger shirt. Part of that came true.

Thanks to the kind folks at Igloo Tornado made this a reality. Henry & Glen: Forever captures what would happen if Henry Rollins and Danzig were a gay couple and living together. While not a linear narrative, the authors and illustrators created a series of snap shots at would could have been. Not only does the comic take cracks at the individual personalities and careers of these punk icons, but they've clearly taken sides of who's who in the relationship. Clearly Henry is wearing the proverbial pants (in the form of shorts, naturally). Also included are excerpts from their the diaries. And to make things even more 'out there' Hall and Oates are the couple's satanic Neighbors. These guys have done their homework capturing the true essence of Henry and Glenn. I wish they would make a sitcom based on this comic.

Anyone who's a fan of either Rollins or Danzig's careers would enjoy the hell out of this comic. It's super cheap and it's the size of a CD case.
