Lenore Slipcase Set (Noogies, Wedgies, Cooties)

The one, the only, LENORE: THE CUTE LITTLE DEAD GIRL is back from the grave with this a hardback slipcase collection of her first three books.

In 1992, Roman Dirge, the Michealangelo of the Macabre unleashed his most famous creation upon the world and now, Titan Comics are proud to repackage those original impossible-to-find early comics into three fabulous hardback books featuring all those early outrageously funny Lenore comics, short stories and flights of deranged comedy genius that Roman could muster.

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 dead girls.

Welcome to the world of Lenore, The Cute Little Dead Girl. Featuring such classic stories as: Hairball, Georgie Porgie and Kitty #46, and introduces us to Ragamuffin, the vampire possed rag doll, and Lenore’s bestest friend, Pooty – the bucket-headed demon from Heck, and Mr. Gosh, Lenore’s love-obsessed button-eyed paramour.

Get ready for a triple dose of maniacal fiendish fun, gruesome games, and gloriously macabre and horrible hi-jinx as Lenore battles diabolical armies of Nazi zombies, hungry earthworms, gnomes, Tooth Haires and the thing from the poopy chair.

Featuring short stories and bizarre back-up strips, like The Crooked Man, The Possum King, The Boy with his Heart in a Box."Lenore comic series bursts with the energy of creating on the fly." The Dragon's CacheBorn 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.
