Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie
Alan Moore reimagines the familiar tales of Wendy, Dorothy, and Alice. He has the women meet at a hotel and tell their tales in terms of sexual awakenings, not violence. Beautiful art with moving, funny, and sexy stories. Not being able to put it down, I read this book in one day.
Moore and Gebbie cater to many different tastes; men and men, women and women, group sex, spankings, but sex is not the point of the book. Violence is used in storytelling...a man goes to war and comes home changed, a women survives violence. We accept violence as entertainment, but not sex. Lost Girls challenges the idea that sexuality is only for the bedroom or porn. Sexuality as narrative is well-served by this wonderful book. Grade: A+ (It goes without saying that no one under 18 should read this without parental approval, nor should anyone uncomfortable with sexual images)
