Finally published, after many years of hard labor, in 2009, this large-scale graphic novel by Alan Moore—grand master of the form—and his wife Melinda Gebbie imagines a time just before the beginning of World War One, in which a trio of famous girls—Wendy from Peter Pan, Dorothy from the Oz books, and Alice—all gather in an exclusive hotel. And so the sexual games begin… Despite the best attempts of local radio interviewers and the like to whip up some bogus outrage, this gentle exercise in period erotica was greeted, on the whole, with admiration.
Moore speculates that “if we’d have come out and said, ‘well, this is a work of art,’ they would have probably all said, ‘no it’s not, it’s pornography.’ So because we’re saying, ‘this is pornography,’ they’re saying, ‘no it’s not, it’s art,’ and people don’t realise quite what they’ve said.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Girls)
Interesting.
