Alan Moores Lost Girls - Graphic Novels and Graphic Sex
Has anyone else read the book/graphic novel/comic (call it what you want), Lost Girls? I got it a while back and just got round to reading about it. I’m a big fan of Alan Moore - I love Watchmen (soon to be a movie - Watchmen trailers here).
Anyway ‘Lost Girls’ is pretty much smut boxed up as art. Nice if you like that kinda thing. Basically it takes charcters from literary history and sexualises them. So Wendy (Peter Pan), Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) and Alice (Through the looking Glass) take us on a strange erotic journey. Book ones good and sets up the story lines effectively, book two loses its way and is pretty much just pornography in comic book form and book three closes the story lines off effectively.
Its an enjoyable, if occasionally weird journey and puts concieved ideas of certain literary characters into a perspective - I’d never once thought of what Wendy would get upto when she was older. Alice I’d always imagined being the Alice in Sunderland (I am really not looking forward to the Tim Burton version of the Alice story - 10 years ago I would have but I’m getting bored with Helena Bonham Carter being in everything).
Anyway its a fun series of books which challenge some preconcived ideas. I’ve stuck some pics below (warning some of these are a raunchy - you have been warned so no complaining):
