"Roman Dirge has announced a new graphic novel, his superhero debut and a Nickelodeon cartoon at San Diego Comic-Con International.   Titan Comics has released a preview of Lenore #8, launching the new &amp;#039;Purple Nurples&amp;#039; arc in which the cartoonist promised a character would die. The graphic novel Monocle will centre around a psychologist who discovers a plot by interdimensional creatures to kidnap humans because &amp;quot;we&amp;#039;re their caviar&amp;quot;, reports Comic Book Resources. Dirge is collaborating with artist Brent J Trembath on String Bean - his first superhero project - which centres around an inventor who builds an Iron Man-like suit that he cannot control.   He is also developing the gender-bending comedy animation Princess Battle Boy for Nickelodeon. Elsewhere, he addressed the recent accident in which he and his girlfriend were run over by an SUV. &amp;quot;You know how you normally know where your foot is?&amp;quot; Dirge said. &amp;quot;I looked down - I know where I left it, [but] it wasn&amp;#039;t there.&amp;quot;   When asked what he would take from the experience, he said that he wanted to &amp;quot;live&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I just want to get things done,&amp;quot; he said. He promised he was not &amp;quot;forsaking&amp;quot; Lenore for his other projects. Lenore #8 will be released on July 31. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
