Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 starsGenius
By Thomas Lyle on 12 April 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Lost Girls is Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's attempt to elevate pornography into something better than what it is today, and they do it superbly. The book clearly reflects the creative team's belief that sex is underrepresented in literature and can be used to tell a story as well as every other aspect of life. The content might not be to everybody's taste - especially with the heavy incest and underage themes present - but the book clearly didn't want to compromise in depicting sexuality. To top it off, it crosses over three of the best children's fantasy books into the same universe (abeit altered so that the fantastical characters the girls originally met are simply made into human sexual partners). The sex does get a bit overpowering towards the end with few points to stop and take a breather, but on a second read my opinion on that might change.

Lost of people have written reviews complaining that the book is graphic and pornographic. They have no reason to complain because the creative team have openly declared the work as pornography.

5.0 out of 5 starsA stunning work of art
By S.L Ireland on 3 July 2010
Format: Hardcover
Firstly, don't let the lack of customer reviews put you off. Perhaps the reviews that USED TO BE HERE have vanished down the Memory Hole.
Lost Girls is a collaboration between arguably the best comic book writer of all time, Alan Moore, and his now-wife Melinda Gebbie. It took 16 years to complete, and upon reading, you can see why. It's incredibly well-written, detailed, and once you get past the initial "naked cartoons" shock, you can enjoy it for what it is - a wonderfully imaginative piece of art.
"Lost Girls" has its critics, and they're entitled to their opinions, but for those of us who enjoyed it, why should we be ashamed? Why should our reviews be taken down? Yes, there are very graphic images in this book, but it goes much, much deeper into exploring relationships (such as the ageing woman obsessed with her younger self, and the married couple whose only sexual relationship is one enjoyed by their shadows).
Please, don't let the apparent lack of support for this work put you off enjoying a beautifully drawn, beautifully scripted piece of art that will be talked about for many years.

5.0 out of 5 starsWay out of your comfort zone.
By Black Mask on 22 Sept. 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.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsFor the broad minded only
By Hoofy on 29 Mar. 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Having read a few Alan Moore graphic novels, I was curious to read 'Lost Girls' and see whether it warranted such strong minded responses and reviews. It seems people are either enthusing about it as a piece of art or disgusted by its contents. Personally, I would consider myself to be a broad minded individual who does not offend easily so thought that I would fall into the latter category.
Having finished reading it yesterday, I have decided that although the art work is beautifully drawn and I appreciated reading a graphic novel that was in colour, some of the content pushed the boundaries a little too far into the regions of bad taste for my liking. I was not aware that there would be such graphically depicted scenes of incest and of sexual activity involving minors, I should have taken on board what some previous amazon reviews said, these themes occur more than once and I did find them uncomfortable to read. you could argue that some of these events were relevant to the plot (i agree that Dorothy's relationship with her dad was a relevant twist to the plot, although an uncomfortable one), i found pretty much all the stories in the hotel managers 'white book' to be diversions from the main plot which could have not gone so far into the realms of bad taste. It seems that as the book progressed these stories from the white book became increasingly disturbing.
I'm unsure now whether to keep the book in my home or sell it, as despite the beauty of the drawing and artwork, I feel uncomfortable having such a controversial graphic novel (that can even offend someone like me) in my home.
