Roman Dirge created Lenore in 1992 for the San Diego alternative magazine Xenophobe. In 1997 he launched the Lenore comic in the US, which quickly became a publishing phenomenon. In 2009, Titan Books started publishing the new collections in full-colour. Currently Roman is working on issue #11 of the ongoing comic, as well as an all-new book called, I Can Count to Ten as well as an exciting new animated kids show for Nickelodeon.
