Roman Dirge
Creator of Lenore
Roman Dirge is an artist, magician, and creator of the LENORE comic book series about the unlife and adventures of the titular character and her similarly odd (if not odder) friends.
He has also written books such as SOMETHING AT THE WINDOW IS SCRATCHING, THE MONSTERS IN MY TUMMY, THE CAR WITH A REALLY BIG HEAD: AND ONE OTHER STORY THAT ISN'T AS GOOD and has done work for THE HAUNTED MANSION comics.
In 2001, Roman wrote for Jhonen Vasquez's Invader ZIM (Bestest Friend/Nanozim), and on the back of the second Invader ZIM DVD, it says "Made with 100% more Dirge" with a picture of him on it, Invader Zim style.
He is working on a new graphic novel, "Monocle', the story of a very respected psychologist who discovers that there are creatures from another dimension that are abducting humans because "we're their caviar."
Roman will depart from his usual themes in his first superhero comic book, "String Bean," created in collaboration with artist Brent J. Trembath ("Scruffy Puppies"). It follows a klutzy inventor who designs an "Iron Man"-type suit and sets out to fight bad guys, but, as it turns out, he has very little control over the suit, doing more damage than good.
He's also developing a new show for Nickelodeon called "Princess Battle Boy," produced by Starburns and based on a concept by Steve Green. The show is a "fish out of water story about this Viking boy who becomes Princess Sparkle Time in the Sparkle forest."
