Alan Moore' Lost Girls

This week the Onion's A.V. Club has an excellent interview with the incomparable Alan Moore in anticipation of the long awaited "Lost Girls". I remember hearing about this project back in the early nineties, when it was first started, but after sometime it took on a semi-mythic status as the Alan Moore pornography project that would never get published. So a few months ago, I was a bit surprised to hear rumblings that it was actually going to see print. I have to admit I had some hesitations about ordering the massive thing, but ultimately decided I needed to see it myself to see what I thought.

I'm definitely intrigued after reading this interview and seeing him write so intelligently and passionately about the book and the status of pornography and sex in Anglo-American culture. I think if it doesn't challenge my own sensibilities a bit, I may be disappointed.
