Lenore: Noogies Color Edition (Hardcover) (Lenore: Cute Little Dead Girl) [Hardcover]

Roman Dirge (Author)

Book Description

Series: Lenore: Cute Little Dead Girl | Publication Date: October 13, 2009

Take a trip into the dark, surreal world of a little dead girl with a knack for (often) unintentional mayhem in this remastered, gothic classic, newly-coloured and presented in glorious hardcover!

Lenore might only be small, but her talent for mischief — and occasional wanton destruction — is anything but. Featuring stories about limbless cannibals, clock monsters, cursed vampire dolls, taxidermied friends, an obssesed would-be lover and more fuzzy animal mutilations than should be legal, never has the term ‘something for everyone’ seemed more sinister and bizarre.

A massive cult hit on both sides of the Atlantic, Lenore is one of the funniest, darkest, cutest, creepiest characters on the marketplace today.

This is a cute book in a demented way. It's made up of comic issues 1-4 about Lenore (who happens to be little dead girl). There are also comics on other varies creatures like Soilent Green, the boy with his heart in a box, Mr. Puffy and others. Lenore doesn't seem to be the brightest dead girl out there and tends to do some sick and twisted things. Quite disturbing sometimes and on the other times it can be quite funny. This is not a book for everyone. If you do not like to read things that are dark or demented then I wouldn't recommend this series. If you can take it with a grain of salt and enjoy it for what it is then I would say to go for it! As for the color edition... I would highly recommend this one if you are a collector. If not go for the paperback version.

Noogies is a great full color version of the first four Lenore issues. There are roughly about 120 pages in this book. The pages are glossy, in color and all wraped up in a hardback book. I'm not a huge comic fan, but this little dead girl with her gory humor and all the creepy characters has me craving more. I also enjoyed all the other dark comics mixed in this book. I want the next collection of Lenore: Wedgies (Color Edition) (Lenore: Cute Little Dead Girl) like now!

I first was introduced to "Lenore" by a friend. He saw I has a copy of Tim Burtons' Book "Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy" and told me I should read "Lenore" by Roman Dirge. Well I did find a few of the comics and thought they were great. I saw they had released this deluxe hardcover set of 3 books collecting all the issues, printed on better paper and in color. I bought all 3 of them and enjoy reading them. They sit on the shelf next to 'Oyster Boy' now.
This book is called NOOGIES and it collects issues #1-4 of the comic. Its just morbid humor about a dead girl and her 'adventures' Roman Dirge also adds some real cool other characters to make the stories even more odd. Its great for those who like a little off beat humor. The comics are witty and the drawings are fun. These make great gifts as well to the right person.
