Y'know, most people don't generally like to play with dead things. I mean, there are SOME people who do, but they usually need therapy, or end up in prison, so this behavior isn't generally encouraged. However, I think we can forgive a little weirdness when the dead thing in question is an adorable cute little dead girl. If you're wondering how such a terrible thing could ever be cute, then you obviously haven't met Roman Dirge's Lenore!
Lenore has been around for a while but, thanks to Titan Books, she is bursting onto the scene anew, and she's bringing the shocking secret of her terrifying origin with her! Lenore is, as I said, a cute little girl who happens to be dead. Or maybe undead. I mean, she does walk around and talk and stuff, which dead people don't normally tend to do. She hangs out with her creepy little friends, and stuff happens. Maybe they breakdance, or throw horseshoes, or fill their pockets with evil hatchets and stuff. Y'know, like you do.
In the all-new, all-color, Lenore #1, the idyllic existence of Lenore and company is threatened when a dark visitor from the past shows up to exact vengeance on our heroine. Lenore's origin is also revealed for the first time! I won't give too much away here, but it involves embalming fluid, an empty belly pooch, and noodle arms. Now you must discover the truth for yourself!
Honestly, Lenore isn't really about the plot anyway, but about crazy, random, weird stuff happening. You never know what to expect in the dark, absurd world of Lenore. The sight gags, word-play, and macabre punchlines fly fast and furiously at the reader. And they have sharp edges, so beware! The art and story combine perfectly to give a wonderful glimpse into Roman Dirge's messed-up head. (It's a great place to visit, but...) This issue also features some other Dirge creations, such as the tragic Parasol Princess and the awesome Samurai Sloth, so you may enter his world via the portal of your choice.
If you like the weird works of Tim Burton, or the Addams Family, or Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, then you will find yourself quickly falling in love with this cute little dead girl. Try out Lenore #1 now, while it is Four Color Fantasies' guaranteed Book of the Week! if you're really lucky, we might even throw in a sweet Balloon Cobra. (OK, we won't, but you can always dream.)
