The long-awaited return of Roman Dirge‘s beloved Lenore, the Cute Little Dead Girl, that began with this year’s Lenore: The Time War, continues this February with a series of four one-shot comics, coming this February. First up is LENORE: THE CURSE OF THE BEEBEE YAGA. And the official synopsis promises the new book will be packed with all the unhinged, off-kilter and morbidly adorable antics that Lenore fans have come to expect from the 53-year-old comic legend.
“One day in the deep dark forest, whilst out on a lovely walk, looking for some green grass to eat, Lenore and Ragamuffin find their chum Pooty at the bottom of a reeaally deep dark well.
Turns out he’s been beaten up and thrown down there by a real dick of a bee.
Then things take a turn for the worse when the bee comes back and proceeds to beat the living crap out of them all, and then his Gram Gram, the legendary BEEBEE YAGA, turns up and all hell breaks loose! Mondays, am I right?”
The 32-page one-shot features three variant covers, two by Dirge and one by Kit Wallis (Monster Club, Hellicious), and will retail for $4.99. The Wallis variant will also be available in a special foil trade edition for $14.99.
