The cute little dead girl, Lenore, is back with another slipcase edition containing three volume of her extraordinary comic strip adventures!
Genius is a word bandied about a lot, but Roman Dirge stands alone as one of the funniest and most unique talents in the comic book firmament, producing a truly one-of-a-kind brand of comic book character and spawning a genre all its own, Cute little dead girls.
Welcome to the world of Lenore, The Cute Little Dead Girl. This slipcase collection features three volumes each containing four complete issues of The Lenore comic book series. Featuring not only the rarely seen final issue of the Slave Labour Graphics Lenore comic but also the first 11 issues of the Titan Comics era editions. Stories include: “The Birfday Party”, “The Macabre Malevolence of Mortimer Flege”, “Where Pooty At?”, “Somethings are Best Unseen”, “Downfall parts 1-3”, “Beware the Creepig Creeping”, “Wrath of the Creeping” and “King for a Day”.
Each volume features exclusive bonus material including short stories and bizarre back-up strips, the very first drawing of Lenore Roman ever drew, as well as guest artwork, a ‘make your own’ Lenore puppet tutorial, and a rare appearance of the cult British comic book character Psycho Gran in a Lenore team-up.
Get ready for another triple dose of maniacal fiendish fun, gruesome games, and gloriously macabre and horrible hi-jinx as Lenore battles diabolical ancient Egyptian demons hellbent on dragging Taxidermy back in time, hordes of forest Ogres who might be ICE agents, an exceedingly startled brown bear, and irate worm just minding his own goddam business trying to have a bath.
Also includes three exclusive art cards.
ROMAN DIRGE Born April 29, 1972 Roman Dirge is an autodidactic, quadruple Eisner nominated artist/writer, magician and accomplished raconteur.
Told by his high school art teachers that he would never become an artist due to his ‘crude drawing style’. Roman promptly quit art and became a full-time magician, dazzling countless kids’ parties with his astonishing skills of prestidigitation. However the urge to create comics was too great and 1992 he created Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl for the San Diego alternative magazine Xenophobe. Roman would go on to draw 13 issues of Lenore, before taking his titular character to Titan Comics in 2009 where Roman still continues to bring his gloriously silly and gothically bizarre worlds to an adoring audience of devoted fans.
Roman is much in demand in the animation industry where he’s worked on a variety of TV shows and commercials as a writer and artist including the HBO show, Animals and Nickeolodeon’s Invader Zim. In 2015 Roman wrote and developed a pilot show for the animated show, Princess Battle Boy for Nickelodeon. He has also written and illustrated three books, the first a collection of his short stories called The Cat With a Really big Head, his second book, a book of macabre poetry called Something at the Window is Scratching and 2024’s I Can Count to Ten, the world’s first how to count book for adults.
