Lost Girls Hardcover Edition
by: Alan Moore, Melinda Gebbie

Editorial Review:

Now available in a single hardcover volume: the legendary erotic masterpiece from Alan Moore, the visionary behind Watchmen, From Hell, and V for Vendetta! For more than a century, Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy have been our guides through the Wonderland, Neverland, and Land of Oz of our childhoods. Now, like us, these three lost girls have grown up and are ready to guide us again, this time through the realms of our sexual awakening and fulfillment. Through their familiar fairytales they share with us their most intimate revelations of desire in its many forms... revelations that shine out radiantly through the dark clouds of war gathering around a luxury Austrian hotel. Drawing on the rich heritage of erotica, Lost Girls is the rediscovery of the power of ecstatic writing and art in a sublime union that only the medium of comics can achieve. Exquisite, thoughtful, and human, Lost Girls is a work of breathtaking scope that challenges the very notion of art fettered by convention. This is erotic fiction at its finest.

Mostly I was interested in how Alan Moore would handle the stories. I have very mixed feelings about the book.
Moore was typically clever - I loved the allusions (both in dialogue and in artwork), from the setting of the story where the... more info

Lost Girls:

As old women who have led intense lives, Alice (of Wonderland fame), Dorothy (of Oz fame), and Wendy (of Peter Pan fame) happen to meet each other and begin to share the stories of their lives in //Lost Girls// by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie. Though each of their stories is already well known to be filled with fantasy, Moore has the women recounting almost even more unbelievable, yet more realistic (in a Freudian sense) versions of their lives where they show that all of the fantasy surrounding each story... more info

A newly created classic in its own right:

Alice of 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass'; Wendy of 'Peter Pan'; and Dorothy of 'The Wizard of Oz' have enchanted young readers for generations in these now classic stories of childhood fantasy. In "Lost Girls", author Alan Moore and artist Melinda Gebbie have taken those three iconic characters and created wholly new interpretations of them, their circumstances, and their histories. Clearly a work of imaginative and visualized erotica, "Lost Girls" is for an adult readership only. In... more info
