From
the back cover
“The
greatest love story ever told has finally been released in graphic novel form,
featuring 20 short stories about the domestic life of ‘Henry’ and ‘Glenn’ and
their neighbors ‘Daryl’ and ‘John.’ Glenn deals with issues with his mother
while Henry, ‘a loud guy with a good work ethic,’ shows his darker side and
indifference to a fan as he drinks black coffee and bonds with Glenn over their
distaste for their own bands. These are two men who truly suffer best together.
“This
book collects four serialized comics, add even more never-before-published pages
than the previous collective edition, and will have a spiffy hardcover. This
collection does not include Henry & Glenn Adult Activity and Coloring Book.”
Review
Mature fans
of Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig who have a silly, non-homophobic sense of
humor may get a kick out of these true-to-the-title “ridiculous” adventures
that the two men embark upon, often with help from their mischievous, satanic
neighbors Daryl [Hall] and John [Oates]. A lot of artists submitted work to
this anthology, so the artwork varies from really good to really bad, as do
some of the brief storylines (for the works that have a storyline). I enjoyed Henry & Glenn a lot, but I would
suggest borrowing it from a library or picking it up for a cheap price if you
have not read it yet. This is great stuff, if you are open-minded and do not
mind being silly about homoerotic, satanic rock stars.
