Ewwww Cute!
A lot of gothic humour comics have been flooding the market recently, but Lenore is one of the best. Lenore is basically about a dead little girl who neither ages nor matures and is filled with oodles of innocent curiousity about the world around her. This often leads her to do gross things (she has had a long line of dead pet cats), and she is very amoral in her childlike innocence, but she is so damn cute you just cant help but forgive her for the sick things she does. Seeing her throw a tea party and invite all the nearby walking-dead or doing a happy little dance at a funeral will leave your mind conflicted over whether you should retch or sigh. And unlike most recent goth comics, this one doesnt take itself at all seriously. Not great art or literature (Gorey and Sala still reign supreme at dark humour comics), but a fun little diversion.

 The Cutest Little Dead Girl... One of the BEST!
I had never heard of Roman Dirge or Lenore until my best friend brought it up in a phone converstaion one day, screaming out "POOK-POOK!"I thought it was bound to be an intresting read, and really dark. I mean a comic about a little dead girl...When she came to visit she brough her Lenore books for me to read. I couldnt put it down, laughing at the wonderfully dark and funny stories spun by Roman Dirge.If youre looking for something dark, yet something that will make you laugh Lenore is the best that there is. She is and always will be the cutiest little dead girl there is... by the way did I mention that "Fishies go pook, pook, pook"? If youre looking for more dark comics check out "Johnny The Homicidal Maniac" by Dirges good friend Jhonen Vasquez.

Gotta love the adorable little dead girl!
I must admit that I am not usually one to enjoy many comic books. But who can resist such an adorable little dead girl? I flipped through my first Lenore comic in a local store, and was instantly amused. When I found this little gem on-line (the first four issues compiled into one nice, neat book) I decided that I just had to purchase it. Lenore is a dead little girl who doesnt quite understand the living around her. She doesnt mean to do some of the things she does, shes just trying to find her niche. The humor in this book is dark, yet definitely not for the serious personality. But for those of you who can enjoy the lighter side of the dark, gothic subculture, this book will have you rolling on the floor laughing. Some highlights include:
"Babysitting," "Its magic," "Lenores Scientific, dont even question it facts," "A walk in the city," "Little Miss Muffet," "Mr. Puffy," and "A New Toy."
So why did I give it only four stars? Because I found a couple of the strips to be a bit cheesy. The second installment, "Wedgies," is better in my opinion. However, you shouldnt read issues 5-8 without first picking up this book and reading 1-4. If you can enjoy vampires-turned dolls, things returning from the dead (Mr. Gosh is hilarious!), and a little girls penchant for accidentally harming cute, small, fuzzy things (watch out for those hamsters!), then this comic is a must-have, as is "Wedgies!" I cant wait for the next four-issue book (9-12) to come out!
