Review

"LOST GIRLS is shocking, it's lovely, it's ambitious, it's grandly clever -- but is it any good? Yes: It's very, very good, if flawed. Parts of it are some of the most extraordinary stuff Alan Moore has ever written; parts of it made me want to tear my own eyes out. (Some of them are the same parts.)"

"In addition to being a master-class in comics technique, LOST GIRLS is also an education in Edwardian smut.... Lost Girls is a bittersweet, beautiful, exhaustive, problematic, occasionally exhausting work.... As a formal exercise in pure comics, LOST GIRLS is as good as anything Moore has written." [Starred review]

Publisher's note

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.

Annotation

Alan Moore, widely considered the Shakespeare of the comic book, worked for 10 years on LOST GIRLS, his pornographic riff on the stories of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, PETER PAN, and THE WIZARD OF OZ. In Moore's brilliant conceit, the three women of the famous fictions--Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy--meet in a Swiss hotel where they begin to revisit their pasts, and explore their sexual desires. In a lesser writer's hands, this X-rated endeavor could have turned to smut or camp, but Moore's kaleidoscopic obsessions and savage intelligence transform the work into erotic art of the highest order.
