Riassunto

Starring notorious muscle-bound punk/metal dudes Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig (with a little help from soft rockers Hall and Oates),Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever is a love story to end all love stories. And here for the first time is the complete compiled collection of the graphic novel that details the fictitious romance of these real-life music icons. Henry and Glenn are very good “friends”; they are also roommates. Daryl and John live next door; they are Satanists. The 20 short stories about their domestic life that follow offer a true testament to the power of love to overcome even the biggest, manliest egos of our time. Follow along as Henry and Glenn go to therapy together, battle an evil cult in the forest, and profess their love between dealing with repeated jealousy and normal relationship problems. This tongue-in-cheek graphic novel satire is filled with adventure, subtle references, and humor, and the book also features dozens of pinup art and full-color covers from the original series.

Recensione:

"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
