LOST GIRLS

Fans of comic-book scribe Alan Moore will be eagerly awaiting the full release of Lost Girls, his latest opus that weaves a pornographic tale of sexual awakening... starring Peter Pan's Wendy Darling, The Wizard Of Oz's Dorothy and Alice In Wonderland's eponymous heroine.

Lost Girls is set in Austria, 1913, where the three girls (now adults) meet together and discuss their sexual lives. Their tales typically put a controversial slant on the characters' original source material (Peter Pan is a male prostitute, Wonderland's Red Queen is a sexual dominant, and Dorothy masturbates whilst caught up in a tornado).

As you can no doubt tell, it's another fascinating story from Moore, who always manages to take potentially awful premises and spin them into gold. Lost Girls is clearly doing a similar trick to League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (using classic literary characters in a fresh context), and doesn't hold back on the pornographic nature of the content.

Anyway, there's a short review up here for you to have a look at. I haven't read the book myself, but Moore has rarely disappointed me, so this will hopefully be another brave and engrossing read...
