Lenore’s Roman Dirge Can Use Our Help

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Brett

Roman Dirge, creator and illustrator of the Lenore comic book series, and his girlfriend Amber were injured in a hit-and-run accident in Hollywood, CA, on February 26, 2013. One of Dirge’s legs was severely damaged, but he is said to be in good spirits despite facing a long recovery.

Dirge’s friends and family have set up a fund to help him with his medical bills as they will be exceedingly large. They’re not just asking for a contribution, but also help spreading the word.

If you are a fan of Roman’s work and would like to wish him all the best by making a contribution- please visit Give Forward at http://www.giveforward.com/pleasehelpromancoverhismedicalexpenses

As a long time collaborator with Roman on his many exceptional projects, Titan Entertainment Group has said they “wish to offer him good health and a speedy recovery.”

Roman Dirge released the following:

I’m a self employed artist and I do not have insurance. The bills will start arriving next week, which I assume will add up to the cost of a small private island. One of my good friends set up a donation page to help with this. Believe me, anything helps. I’ve been blown away by the outpouring of support from friends, fans and family. I thank everyone, from the bottom of my jerky-like heart, and I’m just so thankful of everything.

Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl Statue, is On Her Way! (Everybody Hide!)

Posted on December 14, 2012 by Brett

Don’t let her cuteness fool you — Lenore is not to be trifled with. Nor is she to be talked down to, lied to, threatened, annoyed, spoken to or looked at. Any one of those things is punishable by Lenore removing your kneecaps. Which is why we’re content to observe Lenore from behind the sturdy plastic window of her packaging. This 7-inch PVC statue of the undead cult-favorite comic book character is due out later this month, and you can see the boxed production piece below!

Pre-order the statue at your local comic shop or favorite online toy store, and be on the lookout for the Lenore Vinyl Bust Bank in early 2013!
