What's particularly intriguing are the short vignettes interspersed between Lenore episodes called "Things Concerning Me", where Roman Dirge tells some amusing true tales about himself. As a working magician, he once set himself on fire. When he bought a pet snake, it escaped in the car on the way home, with hilarious results. He includes a tattoo flash of Lenore in every comic.
Dirge has written two other books - The Monsters In My Tummy is an adult take on the aftermath caused by the bitter breakup of a long-term relationship, and The Cat with a Really Big Head, and One Other Story that Isn't as Good, another off-center book-length comic. Although a Lenore movie was in the works, he turned it down because the script wasn't up to par. Artistic integrity, hurray!
Lenore is a comic for those with a twisted sense of humor - like most of us here on Blogcritics. Check it out.
