"Somehow, even in the overwhelming face of the modern world's overpowering doldrums, Snakepit continues to be one of the most entertaining diary strips around." - Brian Heater,
Boing Boing "Ben's shitty comics have created a book that's impossible to put down, with lessons usually reserved for more pretentious art." --
Vice Magazine
"Snakepit stands out for the foolishness of the protagonist's life. The endless punk rock shows,
drinking binges, and rotating girlfriends makes life seem both utterly meaningless and yet still there's a power there...or at least an energy of some kind. A little crudely lived, but with gusto, and crudely recorded as little comic strips." --James Kochalka
"Perhaps Snakepit's life is in a rut, but he's basically happy, especially when he has a girlfriend, and what he records simultaneously with his own adventures is a bohemian, or lumpen bohemian, scene healthier and miles less pretentious than, say, Verlaine and Rimbaud's Parisian niche or the Beats' conclaves in Paris and San Francisco." --
Booklist " ... Empathic, generous, and all-around good time of a journal-cum-comic-strip-collection."

Austin Chronicle "One of the most amazing graphic novels I've ever shamefully sped through in a half-hour." -
Sleaze Grinder "Ben's comic is the visual embodiment of what I really enjoy about DIY punk. " --

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.
