Lost Girls is a graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Melinda Gebbie, depicting the sexually explicit adventures of three female fictional characters of the late 19th and early 20th century: Alice from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Dorothy Gale from L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and Wendy Darling from J. M. Barrie's Peter and Wendy. They meet as adults in 1913 and describe and share some of their erotic adventures with each other.

Review of 'Lost Girls (Lost Girls, #1-3)' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

It's a wonder that this book is so under-mentioned and neglected in the Alan Moore canon. It's a tour de force in terms of achievement. To take well-known characters in literature and reinterpret and recontextualize them purely as sexual beings, and doing it without demeaning or diminishing their essence, is – to use an oft-misused word – genius.

Fact and fiction - only madmen and magistrates cannot distinguish between them.
