Matt, check it out!
Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children has attacked an “inappropriate” graphic novel that portrays Peter Pan’s friend Wendy exploring her sexuality. The Lost Girls, which shows Wendy in erotic trysts and being observed by paedophiles, is the latest work by Alan Moore, the British graphic novelist behind V for Vendetta. He said that his novel was inspired by Peter Pan but he would not seek permission to use the Wendy character. “I don’t see that you can ban anything in this day and age,” he said.
And this is all pre-buzz, just wait till it hits the shelves!
Over on his blog, Neil Gaiman has posted the article that he wrote on Lost Girls for publisher’s weekly. It’s worth a look-see.
For anyone else interested, that link is here.
I’m waiting for the softcover edition. Maybe.
If Moore wrote it, it should be amazing, regardless.
Or maybe I won’t wait (having read the Gaiman review).
