Lenore: Purple Nurples -- Roman Dirge

Lenore might not be everybody's favorite little dead girl, but she's my favorite little dead girl.  Especially this time, since she's taking on wild hogs!

Okay, that's not true, but because she eats pork wrapped in pork after midnight, she's doomed to be killed by the Creeping Creepig.  I'm not sure why this should worry her, as she's already dead, but it does lead to a wild adventure.  But then all her adventures are wild, none much wilder than the other two tales included here (the Creepig episode is a two-parter), "King for a Day" and "The Dweller in the Fridge."  

Lenore's not for the squeamish or for anybody who doesn't have a warped and twisted sense of humor.  Dirge puts the graphic in graphic novel, or graphic novelette, or whatever we have here.  If you're into the weird and strangely appealing, you owe it to yourself to check out any of the books in this series, of which Purple Nurples is but the latest.

I love Lenore's deadpan (no pun) way of looking at things.
