Roman Dirge created Lenore in 1992 for the San Diego alternative magazine Xenophobe. In 1997 he launched the Lenore comic in the US, which has since become a publishing phenomenon, spawning graphic novel collections, merchandising, video games and art books. His work is exclusively published by Titan.
