Previous issues were made into colored edition trade paperback called Lenore Volume I, which is separated into three books.

The comic also featured various one-time side stories (one of these characters, Samurai Sloth, is set to star in his own series) and occasionally guest strips from other artists (with Jhonen Vasquez being the most frequent[4][5]).

A recurring comic strip called "Things Involving Me" tells about the author's life and experience in an exaggerated, semiautobiographical manner.

[6] All films begin with a line from Edgar Allan Poe's Lenore: "A dirge for her the doubly dead in that she died so young".

At his panel at the 2011 Comic Con, Roman Dirge announced that Neil Gaiman has agreed to serve as an executive producer for a CGI film adaptation.

Titan Magazines released a new line of Lenore comics in full color that started with a new #1 in 2009 and continues to be published up to the present.

Lenore usually does and says things that do not make sense most of the time, resulting in the annoyance of her level-headed companion, Ragamuffin, who considers her a dimwit, calling her "special in the head".

However, despite all that, whether she is really dense or she acts stupidly on purpose, just to torment Ragamuffin for fun, is unclear, because at times she is shown to be quite intelligent-such as in Vol.

In issue #9, she tries to tell Ragamuffin that he is her best friend, but she is interrupted by him, when he sprays a substance on her face to kill the worm that eats from her forehead.

Given that she is over a century dead, her birth parents would have also perished, but the way the priest talks to her in "Lil Ballerina" suggests that he may be a father figure to her.

Ragamuffin can at first sight look like a rag doll with worms for hair and polyester filling, but he has a very interesting background story and personality.

In contrast to the brutal, savage nature of his original vampire form, he seems quite interested in somewhat more humanlike activities as a ragged doll, though he does not admit it (he persistently denies it and tries to change the topic when Lenore accuses him of break-dancing in parachute pants in Vol.

Ragamuffin becomes very protective of Lenore and, in issue #12, when he is reverted into a vampire, he remains by her side and tries to defend her from the Nazi zombies that ascended from Hell.

The supposition is validated by Pooty Applewater's letter, in issue #13, in which he tells Lenore that he cannot leave her with the Puff-Puff Midget, who calls himself Ragamuffin, to protect her.

In issue #9, when Lenore falls briefly for Mr. Gosh (when his mask is removed) and shoves Ragamuffin away, he seems hurt and tells her he has feelings.

Pooty Applewater made his first appearance in issue #9 as a bounty hunter sent to bring Lenore back to the underworld.

In #13 Pooty suddenly vanished leaving a note that informed Lenore and Ragamuffin that his ex-wife wanted child support and that he would be fleeing to Norway or Mexico.

At times, they lend each other a hand when they need one, (such as when they worked together to hide the Bloody Birthday clowns in issue #6 Volume 2, or when Ragamuffin helped Pooty pull a splinter out of his ass in Issue #8 Volume 2), but they also can betray each other in small ways at the same time, and weakly argue like an old married couple.

Mr. Gosh appears to be a human-sized sock puppet man with buttons as eyes, but he is a dead person with a bag over his head.

In issue 2 Volume 2, after finally having been rejected far enough and realizing how over-compulsive his advances on Lenore were, Mr. Gosh eventually fled to his cupcake castle in hopes of distancing himself from her, and trying to make a new start to move on with his life.

Once there, Lenore soon followed, and while trying to just forget she had even existed so he could finally live with a peace of mind, he was indirectly forced to take her in for a tour of his new home.

Although Mr. Gosh could spot-on see through her plan, even admitting he did straight to her, once she held his hand, his only first reaction was to feel incredibly sad, but still acknowledged that she was trying to trick him.

So, in order to get rid of this feeling once and for all, he took Lenore and Ragamuffin outside, along with a good amount of TNT, and told her that if she loved him, even if his entire castle blew up, to stay where she was.

After he pushed the lever down on the explosives, and his enheritance had been completely destroyed, he looked over to what he thought to be Lenore, and had a moment of pure happiness and total excitement.

As his name suggests, his very first appearance in the comics had him looking like a tall, emaciated, suit-wearing deer with a stitched-up head, and he even had hooves for hands.

Taxidermy was dubbed as 'The Orphanage' by the press, for the many killings of children's parents, including Lenore's, which was revealed in issue 9, Volume 2.

Comic Con '04 also resulted in Taxidermy's head almost being stolen by a passer-by when Dirge had placed it on the table after the signing had finished.

The Muffin Monster is a dark green-coloured creature who made his first appearance in issue #5 at Lenore's tea party.

They are, however thwarted by Ragamuffin, temporarily reverting to his original, vampire form, and Lenore's neighbors, including Taxidermy.

Despite first revealing himself to be a horrible demon, he then showed his real (supposedly more terrifying) form which is basically Pooty with a round helmet.
