$75 Porn By Alan Moore... Is It Worth It?
Aug. 30th, 2006 12:55 pmWell, I was *hoping* that my boss at the comic store in Bethesda would have an open copy of Alan Moore's LOST GIRLS, so I could read it for myself. But no, he doesn't. Which means I may have to actually buy it without having read it.
For those who don't know, LOST GIRLS is Alan Moore's epic porno featuring Dorothy from WIZARD OF OZ, Alice from ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and Wendy from PETER PAN. It re-imagines their stories as ones of sexual awakening (for example, I believe there's a scene where Peter has sex with Wendy while Michael and John suck each other off). Within these three hardcover books is apparently everything from orgies, incest, pedophilia, fisting, golden showers, you name it. Does the Tin Woodsman sport a Dirty Sanchez? Only one way to find out!
And the thing about this book? Apparently it's absolutely brilliant. Maybe one of Moore's masterpieces. We're talking about the guy who wrote WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, SWAMP THING, TOP TEN, FROM HELL, THE KILLING JOKE, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MAN OF TOMORROW?, LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, and more. He's the greatest comic writer of all time not named Will Eisner.
It's also 75 bucks. Do I really have it in me to plunk down 75 bucks sight-unseen for three huge hardcover books of comic book erotica?
Maybe if Captain Hook and Smee do the Donkey Punch.
