Lost Girls, Book 1 Paperback – January 1, 1995

Alan Moore is one of the most critically acclaimed, and very arguably the #1 most acclaimed, writer for graphic novels and comic books. He has written such things as Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, and Swamp Thing, all of which have made a major stamp on the industry. And he has also written Lost Girls, a book of....well, porn.Lost girls follows the story of three well known female protagonists, Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Wendy from Peter Pan, and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Moore reimagines the stories of these characters as sexual expression, as well as there current sex lives now that they've grown up (some more than others).The thing you have to realize is that Moore himself admits that these books are porn. Is only real qualification is that he wrote them to show that porn can have the same type of symbolism, motifs, and character depth of other, more critically acclaimed work gets. On that front, he more or less delivered. The new versions of the girls stories are very well done.So if you like decent writing and porn, this can make for some good disposable reading for you.

The art is great and all the stories have a very erotic component to them. Sometimes the overarching message or plot seems too subtle, and you feel like you are reading a collection of extremely short stories, completely unconnected to each other. Not the best of Mr Moore, but worth a read.

I am a huge fan of his Swamp Thing so I decided to try some of his other works. The art is very adult but it is well in the scope of this work.

Decent art but a really bizarre use of the characters, not much of a story particularly. Disjointed more like a series of vignettes. The complete run has been collected since the single issues were put out. Not for everyone and like most these days not a comic for kids.Two stars for the water color type art- loss of three for scattered plot and lack of creativity for use of characters created by other people.

Different, entertaining concept of what has happened to our childhood fictional characters. This is real fantasy land! Worth having a read.

I kind of felt deceived; thought the book was a traditional book - you know, the one`s without pictures?

Assumed only hardbacks had been published. Didn't realize that it was a paperback.$40 a bit high for a comic book.

Not what I was expecting.

This book is a departure for Moore and those who come to it expecting a graphic novel along the lines of Watchmen or the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen will be disappointed (Although the story does share with the latter the motif of taking famous characters and placing them in more mature context). But I do urge my fellow readers to read on. Moore's rich purple prose is accompanied by beautiful storybook illustrations. The way that the three protagonists fantastical journeys are spun into tales of sexual awakening is truly wonderful. I look forward to next volume of Lost Girls and the intimate adventures of Alice Wendy and Dorothy.

Very graphic but a good book that I have thoroughly enjoyed reasonable would recommend to anyone wanting something a little different!

But enjoyable nevertheless! Intend to read the next. Particularly enjoyed the sordid Wendy storyline. Worth a look. Preferred the story over the artwork.

Nice!!
