Lenore + Comprehensive Story = ++Good

This compilation is unique because it features Lenore in a comprehensive story, rather than a series of semi-unrelated strips. Watch (read? view?) as Lenore is taken to Hell (previous issue), escapes from Hell, and is hunted by the devil's vicious bounty hunters (Pooty) and is protected by the loyal doll vampire Ragamuffin. The final comic in this issue is also in color, and included are plenty of pinups including art from other artists, such as Jhonen Vasquez (Zim and JtHM), Voltaire (Deady the Evil Teddy) and others. This was certainly the best of the Lenore collections, as the longer story is interesting but the comedy is there start to finish. Who could not laugh at the Spam Witch? This is a must have for Lenore fans.

Amazing!!! =)

I have all the Lenore books, but this one is the best!!! =) it's really funny!! I love it

Ahh, I don't know what it is..

... but all of the Lenore comics are just so morbidly hilarious that you keep wanting to read more. Can't wait to read what Dirge comes up with next.

Cooties is great!

This is Dirge at his best. If you don't laugh out loud at this collection of comics starring Lenore:The Cute Little Dead Girl, you may want to check yourself for a pulse! I love Lenore and have gone through this book more than once when I wanted a good laugh. Another to add to the collection, for sure.

Can't get enough of the adorable little dead girl!

The adorable little dead girl is back! It's been a long time coming for fans of Roman Dirge's Lenore, but finally the comic installments nine through twelve have been collected in a creepy little collection appropriately entitled "Cooties." This collection takes a bit of a different twist than has been seen in the two previous graphic novels. Rather than a haphazard helping of short anecdotes, Cooties has a flowing plot line that takes it's readers back to when Lenore first left the realm of the dead. The Dark Overlord sends minions, including the heinous bounty hunter Ouchie Boo Boo, off to bring the little dead girl back to Heck where she belongs, but will they be successful in their quest? In addition to the four comics, the graphic novel contains some extras. Roman Dirge has added an intriguing introduction. There are a few pages of tattoo flash artwork. Also included are some "pinups" done by other people that are all great variations on the Lenore theme. Let's not forget the ever-popular "Things involving me," short, anecdotal tales about Roman Dirge himself. If you still can't get enough of Lenore, Mr. Gosh, Ragamuffin, and Pooty after the previous eight comics, then you definitely won't be disappointed by Cooties! I love this new turn Roman Dirge has taken with the Lenore story line, along with Dirge's amazing artwork, and I anxiously await future installments to the series!
