This comic is just wonderful. Just wonderfully wonderful.
For those not in the know, the Henry and Glenn of the title are Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig, former frontmen for, respectively, Black Flag and The Misfits, notoriously angry early punk bands. Both went on the successful solo careers, and also are well-known as very buff individuals. The notion of them living in domestic bliss is insane, but it works so, so well.
But here's the thing. I picked this comic up a few days ago, based solely on the cover. I saw the title briefly, which reminded me of the logo of The Saga of Crystar, and I'd been looking to find a bit more queer content in my comics, and this just looked like a ridiculous gay fantasy comic. I didn't even click into who it was actually about until I opened up the comic this morning and started reading it! What a lovely surprise.
Anyway, it's great. I highly recommend that you click on the picture and order one. I laughed out loud a couple of times, and that a rarity in any media, I find. You definitely have to have had some exposure to both Rollins and Danzig in some form to appreciate the comic. I imagine it would still be amusing if you didn't know who they were, but it's just not the same.
Here, watch these, then order the comic: (Also, how does Rollins' "Liar" continue to be as relevant as it is, all these years later?)
More to come...
