Four friends who collectively call themselves Igloo Tornado wrote a series of fictional tales of the love between Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig, plus some jokes from their Satan worshiping neighbors, Daryl Hall and John Oates. This land of make-believe is contained in
Glenn & Henry Forever. There isn't a preview in one handy location, but various
interviews,
reviews, and
blogs have posted
some of the comics (more:
Henry has no shoes, Hall & Oats play D&D,
a postcard from Henry to Glenn, and
a page from Danzig's diary). Danzig,
often the butt of internet jokes, was not thrilled. His thoughts were made into
a final comic. Oh, and there's
an anti-Christmas animation special/advert. And
a gallery show with more artists joining the fun.

Though Roald Dahl is better known in this day as the author of stories for children, he had a parallel career as the author of
short stories with more adult, macabre sensibilities. Some of those stories became part of a short-run series to fill the slot of to not
one but
two ill-fated Jackie Gleason shows. But instead of another game show or talk show, CBS wanted something to pair with the Twilight Zone. That show was
Way Out, though it didn't rate well and only ran for
14 episodes (and
5 episodes are on Archive.org). 18 years later, Dahl returned to TV with his sinister stories, but this time it was in the UK, where
Tales of the Unexpected lasted 9 seasons,
112 episodes in total. You can view
23 or so episodes online, split into parts (YT Playlist).
