Synopsis
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.

Industry Reviews
"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]

"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.)"
