	NEWSARAMA.COM: ALAN MOORE ON LOST GIRLS, PART ONE
		Lost Girls is Moore and Gebbie's way of reclaiming pornography, wresting it from the hands of simple smut peddlers and producers who merely crank out tripe to appeal to baser instincts.
		While we'll talk with Staros more at a later date, Lost Girls operates on at least two fronts, first and foremost as a work of art, and secondly, as a flag firmly planted, claiming (or reclaiming) free, artistic expression as the birthright of all creators.
		That startling omission in culture was probably the biggest impetus behind Lost Girls - we felt that there ought to be something like that that related to sex that was as beautifully illustrated and as beautifully written as one might expect from any other genre.

		"Lost Girls is a work of art, as beautiful in its execution as it is defiant in its subject matter.
		"Lost Girls' narrative is equal parts sexual imagination and historical fact, riffing on pornography's artistic antecedents in the works of Aubrey Beardsley, Pierre Louys and Stravinsky's infamous The Rite of Spring, while simultaneously re-imagining beloved children's characters as sexually adventurous women in a world that's turning ugly in a hurry.
		In addition to being a master-class in comics technique, Lost Girls is also an education in Edwardian Smut â“ Gebbie and Moore pastiche the pornography of the period, taking in everything from The Oyster to the Venus and Tannhauser period work of Aubrey Beardsley.

		Lost Girls hits its first aesthetic climax at the end of book one, when Alice, Dorothy, and Wendy attend the May 1913 Paris premiere of Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
		In the end, Lost Girls' most transgressive aspect may be its lovingly exaggerated resemblance to a Tijuana bible, the cheap eight-page comics that often put familiar—and copyrighted—cartoon characters like Olive Oyl and Betty Boop into extravagantly sexual situations.
		Lost Girls is the opposite of porn's humorous or horrific norm, which is "lit as though for brain surgery in a sordid apartment, on a sofa with busted springs sticking through it, and every pore hair and goose bump of these poor shivering meat puppets on full display."

	Lost Girls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lost Girls is an erotic graphic novel depicting the sexual adventures of three important female fictional characters of the late 19th and early 20th Century, namely Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz, and Wendy Darling from Peter Pan.
		The erotic adventures are set against the backdrop of cultural and historic events of the period, such as the debut of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
		Each of the three titular "girls" has a distinct visual layout that is used for her chapters: Alice has ovals reminisce of her looking-glass, Wendy has very dark, tall, shadowy rectangles meant to emphasize the repressive nature of her middle-class Victorian society, and Dorothy has wide panels in imitation of the flat landscape of Kansas.
