 even better than the first February 24, 2000

The second issue of Lost Girls is better than the first, mainly because it is longer! Moore and Gebbie really flush out the characters and bring them to life. Lost Girls is erotica that is intended to be appreciated equally by both men and women, and I think it is succesful in achieving this goal. Reading ths comic, and looking at Gebbie's art will turn a lot of people on, but it definitely isn't degrading to women or men. Also, there is more to this book then just sex - if you are simply looking for cheap thrills, go watch a porno movie, but if you are in the mood for quality erotica, this is the book for you. Lost Girls is definitely a highpoint for the careers of Moore and Gebbie, and show that the comic book is an excellent format to create works of art. I just wish Lost Girls could come out with a little more regularity; I've been waiting for the next issue for over four years!
 Continued excellence. May 11, 2007

Alan Moore, Lost Girls: Neverlands (Top Shelf, 2007)
Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie continue on their unabashedly explicit romp through the pre-war lives of Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy in Neverlands, the second book in the Lost Girls trilogy. The plot of the three books, which are really only one story arc, remains the same: the three share the real stories behind the fantasy conventions we all heard as kids. But really, you're not reading it for the plot any more than you read [...] for the articles.
What may surprise you is that what will draw your attention is not all-sex-all-the-time. Gebbie's artwork is brilliantly tuned to the various stories. Even some of the decor changes in subtle ways depending on which one of the three is relating a tale (or if something else entirely is going on). I'll warn you, as I did last time, if you have any strong taboos, Lost Girls will, in fact, break them. If you're more civilized than that, however, this is very, very good stuff. ****
