Beschreibung des Verlags
In the final installment of the greatest love story ever told, about the domestic life of "Henry" and "Glenn" as well as their neighbors "Daryl" and "John," we are treated to three new short stories. This issue includes the shocking conclusion to the story of Glenn's mother living with them (spoiler alert: zombies), Glenn and Wendy make a daring rescue from Space City after Henry gets a pep talk from Lemmy, and Henry saves Glenn from some giant lizards after his drummer quits. It's a true testament to the power of love to overcome even the biggest, manliest egos of our time. The book also features dozens of pin up art and full color covers from the original serialized series. Will our lovers continue to frustrate, inspire, and show us the way?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Over the past three years, some of indie comics' biggest names have built a strange and wonderful mythology around real-life punk singers/muscle heads Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig (Rollins was the front man of Black Flag and Danzig was the front man of the Misfits; both were seminal hardcore bands of the late '70s and early '80s). The series of minicomics is the brainchild of editor and primary contributor Neely (The Blot, The Wolf), who uses an arsenal of classically inspired cartooning styles to paint a world in which the pair live together as lovers and confidants. In this anthology, Rollins and Danzig's suburban home shares a fence with Satan-worshipping duo Hall and Oates. The conflicts alternate between domestic and more epic ax-wielding, demon-battling fare. Not every piece is a hit single, but there is plenty of hilarious and often profane entertainment here for anyone interested in punk or metal and a forward penned by Judas Priest front man Halford (who is openly gay) provides even more devil-horned street cred. Neely's contributions are far and away the strongest of the book, though Johnny Ryan and Noah Van Sciver illustrate notable tales. There's also plenty of eye candy throughout, in the form of dozens of pages of pinups drawn in the style of comics icons such as Jack Kirby and Bill Watterson.
