[300x457]
Lenore, "the Cute Little Dead Girl"
is a fictional character created by Roman Dirge, inspired by the poem "Lenore," by Edgar Allan Poe.
Lenore has appeared in several comic books by Dirge, and was featured in her own series published by Slave Labor Graphics. She was also featured in a set of 26 short flash movies for Sony's ScreenBlast website.
The comic tells of the adventures of the title character, Lenore,
and her variety of friends. The primary focus of the graphic novel 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.
In one story, for instance, Lenore accidentally kills the Easter Bunny.
While Lenore's actions often result in the death or injury to those around her, and in various forms of chaos, she is not a malicious character,
and often thinks she is doing good. Lenore is not the sole focus of the comic, with many stories featuring one-time characters
(One of these characters, Samurai Sloth, is set to star in his own series).
Also featured are humorous, semi autobiographical accounts of events that happened to creator Roman Dirge, titled "Things Involving Me."
