Lenore, "the Cute Little Dead Girl" is a fictional character created by Roman Dirge, inspired by the poem "Lenore," by Edgar Allan Poe.
The comic tells of the adventures of the title character, Lenore, and her variety of friends. The primary focus is dark humor, with many of the stories having amusing twist endings. Common themes are the reinvention of children's songs, games, and nursery rhymes to something more macabre, and subverting all sorts of pop culture icons and cultural figures in to topics of dark comedy.
Roman Dirge (born on April 29, 1972) is an artist and magician, and the creator of the Lenore comic-book series; he currently lives in Los Angeles, California.le to find!
With her pale face, huge eyes, skull barrettes, lack of a pulse, and propensity for senseless violence, Lenore could be the next full-fledged, merchandise-ready goth-girl icon. This compendium collects four comics, though there’s no through line anywhere. Rather, each issue is a hodgepodge of stories, poems, twisted fables, and tattoo designs. The jokes are pretty sick and swerve between genius (the taxidermied chipmunk who bemoans his missing back half until Lenore jams a pair of Barbie legs onto it) and the uncomfortably cruel (“Kittie #53” involves the relatively straightforward drowning of a cat). What keeps it afloat—for the right reader, of course—is Lenore’s obliviousness to wrongdoing. When she engages in “13 hours of gnome slaughter,” it’s only because she was overcaffeinated. It’s all a lot funnier and cuter than it sounds, which is a credit to Dirge’s ability to inject personality into his morbid mix of pale colors and black humor. Interestingly, Dirge’s occasional autobiographical intrusions (“Things Involving Me”) steal the show.
