Lost Girls Collected
Most comic book fans have probably heard about Lost Girls Collected, the stunning, three-volume set of hardcover graphic novels by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbe, which debuted to both accolades and controversy last year. The first printing last summer sold out within weeks and is only just now available again. Author Moore (best known for his non-erotic comics, such as Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and V for Vendetta) and takes the grown-up versions of Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), Dorothy (from The Wizard of Oz) and Wendy (from Peter Pan) and has them meet at a fancy hotel and reminisce over their sexual awakenings so many years ago, interspersed with some hot sex with one another in their hotel rooms or tucked away behind some shrubbery in the gardens. Y’know, like women sometimes do. The writing is top-notch, the artwork stunningly beautiful and the sex is both erotic and fascinating, especially because these characters are exploring the sexual side of themselves at an age when most of us experienced our own sexual awakenings (teenaged, but not necessarily 18). Definitely one of the most impressive erotic graphic novels out there today. Recommended!
