Information About

Roman Dirge




Roman was in a band during high school named Of Worlds Long Dead.

Told by his art teachers that he would never make it as an artist due to his crude style, he ignored them anyway and eventually started drawing the comic about ''Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl'' for '' Xenophobe Magazine ''.

After a while trying to make it as a magician, during which he set himself on fire, he returned to comics with a full ''Lenore'' comic-book published by Slave Labor Graphics .

He has also written books such as "''Something At The Window Is Scratching''", "''The Monsters In My Tummy''" and "''The Cat With A Really Big Head: And One Other Story That Isn't As Good''", and a few episodes of '' Invader Zim '', the cartoon series created by his friend Jhonen Vasquez .
