Product Description

Product Description
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.

About the Author
Alan Moore is the author of From Hell, Watchmen, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V For Vendetta, all of which have been (or are being) made into major motion pictures. This is his most ambitious and challenging project ever completed (15 years in the making). Lost Girls will be yet another addition to Moore's long list of genre-defining works, as it seeks to reinvent pornography as something exquisite, thoughtful, and human.

3.0 out of 5 stars Below Par Moore, 23 Oct 2007
By A. A. Dainty (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After Eagerly awaiting Moore's latest oddessy I have to say that I was somewhat dissapointed by Lost Girls, this feeling may not have been so if Moore had concluded following Book One:

In the first Book of Lost Girls all of Moore's writing techniques are evident, subtle nods to the era, other works and juxtapositions of two different events happening concurrently, added to this there is the very smart premise that the fantasy stories of Wendy, Dorothy and Alice are formed through the repression of their first sexual experiences. I would therefore give the first book 4stars.

Unfortunately I cannot say the same for the following 2 books, book 2 being the one of least merit (2 Stars), Moore continues to sexualise the fantasy stories of Neverland, Oz and Wonderland for no other reason than he can. This is also probably the most graphic of the three books, so may be seen as 100% erotica which has been bookended by the set up and justification.

The final book of Lost Girls then justifies the series (as another reviewer has mentioned) by stating that the events in the series should cause no offence as they are ficticious and are purely intended to entertain. This justification along with the resolutions to the Lost Girls stories raises this book above book 2 to 3stars.

As Lost Girls is still an overtly Alan Moore collection (as described above) I fans may still enjoy the collection, however I personally feel that this is way below the quality of Watchmen and League of Extrodinary Gentlemen etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way out of your comfort zone., 22 Sep 2008
Moore and Gebbie have presented us with a gift and a challenge. First off, this is a beautifully presented artefact. The three volumes in their slip-case look and feel wonderful. Melinda Gebbie's art is enchanting, almost dreamlike. She presents the images suggested by Moore with real beauty and honesty. Moore, in turn, asks more of his artistic collaborator than many would be able or comfortable to provide. Just about every kind of human-on-human sexual activity is here. It's erotic, yes. It's pornographic, yes. It's graphic, yes. However, because of its beauty and intelligence, none of the situations or images are utterly repellent. Moore and Gebbie force us to ask very difficult questions of ourselves. We see and read and understand these things on these pages, and we realise that we must make moral choices. We recognise that we do make moral choices. We reflect on why we make those moral choices. We're prodded to think about our own sexuality, to think about when that sexuality awakened, to wonder at when and what and why we lusted over the things we desire. As a parent this can be occasionally uncomfortable, but it's absolutely compelling.

The retrospective retellings of the girls' tales is fascinating and astonishingly inventive. History, imagination, psychotherapy, art, myth, magic and a million other things collide in these volumes. There are messages and truths locked deep inside these pages that further rereadings may uncover. My first impression is that Moore and Gebbie point a finger of blame for a lost innocence and the experience we, concomitantly, never have the pleasure of achieving. It identifies the cheapening, commodification and vulgarisation of the erotic. Of sex. Of the simple innocent fun in f*cking. It's a dirty business, now. And ubiquitous. Furtive, sleazy and sick. This book isn't about paedophilia, or homosexuality, or masturbation. It's about (among many other things) how desire is born, what it means to lust, about sexual release, the part imagination plays in our desires... The culprits may be Modernism, mechanized war, industrialism...

This is the most startling and provocative thing I've read since Lord Horror. We should be grateful that people like Moore and Gebbie and Top Shelf are producing stuff like this, because precious few others are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised, 29 Aug 2006
The very beginning of this book was printed in comic format. When presented with it for the first time I didn't know what it was... frankly I refused to read it after the first few paragraphs.
But then I was given a summary of what Moore and Gebbie are trying to do. So I gave it a second chance. Now I can't wait for the end to come out.

In his usual style Moore has tackled a difficult subject sensitively and in an unusual way, this is an attempt at reinventing an old medium, in reclaiming it if you like, as a potentially intellectual vehicle for unexpectedly intircate ideas. As a study of human psychology, human sexuality and pornography/erotica this is decidedly interesting and, as I should have expected from Moore, well worth multiple readings... not just titilating (although it is, in many ways) this is a detailed exploration of many many things, and I thank Moore and Gebbie for putting in the dedication to not just create this beautiful work, and it is beautiful visually, but to battle through getting it published against disapproval from not entirely unexpected directions.

I look forward with anticipation to the rest of this story.
