Quick Review: Lost Girls
The Good:
It's a "pornographic" work involving Alice, Wendy, Dorothy. It should be apparent by now that Alan Moore is great at deconstructing superheros in general (Watchmen and Top 10) or other people's specific literary characters (LXG). Or, is it reconstructing?
In any case, the writing is good. Great dialogue. Storytelling is also excellent. Good incorporation of the literary references. I also have to applaud Moore for trying to make well written and cerebrally entertaining "pornography".
The Bad:
After reading Moore's other works, and Gaiman's too... and glancing at (and passing over) Vertigo's Fables, I'm getting tired of all these literary characters bumping into each other in "the real world". Look, this is basically fanfiction. Doujinshi. Not as clever as you think, overall.
The Ugly:
The "girls" are not as young as the title might suggest. And, do you know what's worse than old lesbian action? Poorly drawn, old lesbian action.
Is it "pornography"?
Haha.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
So, this is not normally a techie blog, but the procedure above had us boggled.
Okay, that's it. Just have some more pictures.
