Hot dog, they’re back and in full color for the first time! Don’t say love’s so heavy that it can’t return to make you laugh, cry, and sigh with blood and tears and gleeful reverence. Everyone’s favorite aging punk odd couple lights up the page once more in the first all-new Henry & Glenn floppy comic in a decade.
Inside you’ll find “I Don’t Want to be Buried,” the first chapter of a brand-new story written and drawn by Tom Neely. In this chapter, our squabbling, loving heroes have adopted a new cat they named Iggy. Iggy and Henry become best friends, but Glenn has A LOT of trouble connecting with the new kitty.
Also, Henry gets cast in a new movie directed by Jon Twaters; so, Glenn gets left home alone with Iggy… and it does not go well!
You’ll also find a retrospective of Henry & Glenn lore and collectibles, and an all-true comic short, “True Tale of Henry & Glenn,” featuring the time Tom sat on a plane next to the drummer for Samhain.
Plus a cameo from Henry and Glenn’s neighbors Daryl and John and some spicy new pin-ups, including a back cover pin-up by Justin Hall!
