Lost Girls (comics)



Lost Girls, begun in 1991 and finished in 2006, is Alan Moore's Rule Thirty Four Graphic Novel Crack Fic about characters from Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, drawn by Melinda Gebbie. Set in 1913 to 1914, it concerns the meeting of three women in an Austrian hotel: Lady Alice Fairchild, Dorothy Gale, and Wendy Potter. They quickly become lovers, relating to each other their adolescent sexual awakenings and histories of abuse. They cocoon themselves inside the hotel with the other patrons, engaging in drug-fueled orgies as the outside world erupts into war.

The series contains many references to events and culture of the era. Critical reception upon its release was largely positive, though many were concerned about the portrayal of teenagers and very small children engaged in sexual activity. There was also a copyright dispute in the UK over the character of Wendy.
