Lenore: The Time War

Roman Dirge’s cute little dead girl, Lenore, faces off against the legendary Time Goats in the G.O.A.T. fight of the century!

Join Lenore, Pooty, Ragamuffin and Taxidermy for an adventure 100 million and six years in the making!

SHE’S BACK AND THE WORLD’S A MADDER PLACE FOR IT!

It’s been seven years since Roman Dirge unleashed his last LENORE BOOK on an unsuspecting world and now he and she are back in an adventure almost too epic to synopsis!

Genius is a word bandied about a lot, but Roman Dirge stands alone as one of the funniest and most unique talents in the comic book firmament, producing a truly one-of-a-kind brand of comic book.

The adventures sees Lenore the undead Victorian girl with a fondness for cats and a demented sense of humour and a caustic wit reunited with her trusty set of bizarre friends that includes a stuffed doll called Ragamuffin who houses the soul of a vampire, Pooty, a bucket-headed demon with a pitchfork and Taxidermy an immortal beetle-headed Ancient Egyptian god with antlers who protects children.

Reunited after being separated and lost across the entirety of all-history, after eating three Time Goats who’d come to save them from a demented demonic pickle hat, Lenore and co must make one last stand and do battle with a futuristic army of enraged Time Goats from the far-flung future who’ve come to Earth for revenge!

From the primordial ooze of the dinosaurs to the opulent splendor of Ancient Egypt and Rome, to the far flung future of the Time Goats, this 112 page masterpiece is a hilarious and relentless madcap romp across time and space with a gag rate second to none!

Born April 29, 1972 Roman Dirge is an autodidactic, quadruple Eisner nominated artist/writer, magician and accomplished raconteur.

Told by his high school art teachers that he would never become an artist due to his ’crude drawing style’. Roman promptly quit art and became a full-time magician, dazzling countless kids’ parties with his astonishing skills of prestidigitation. However the urge to create comics was too great and 1992 he created Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl for the San Diego alternative magazine Xenophobe. Roman would go on to draw 13 issues of Lenore, before taking his titular character to Titan Comics in 2009 where Roman still continues to bring his gloriously silly and gothically bizarre worlds to an adoring audience of devoted fans.

Roman is much in demand in the animation industry where he’s worked on a variety of TV shows and commercials as a writer and artist including the HBO show, Animals and Nickeolodeon’s Invader Zim. In 2015 Roman wrote and developed a pilot show for the animated show, Princess Battle Boy for Nickelodeon. He has also written and illustrated three books, the first a collection of his short stories called The Cat With a Really big Head, his second book, a book of macabre poetry called Something at the Window is Scratching and 2024’s I Can Count to Ten, the world’s first how to count book for adults.
