Lenore Comics in general

--*-- Roman Dirge --*-- Roman Dirge is a man of many talents, (he's an artist, magician, director and a bloody gorgeous man). He has the same kind of twisted outlook as me! He was put down at school by his art teacher who claimed his work was too cold. (I bet they feel stupid now, his work is cold; that's the point of it). In 1992 someone recognised his genius and published Lenore, the Adventures of a Cute Little Dead Girl is Xenophobe magazine.

The cover was very warped and had freaky drawings, which instantly appealed to one of my sides of my character! I bought the first issue of Lenore which was published way back in late 1998.
