We are All Complicit: An Interview With Alan Moore

Once again, Morphizm fiends. Sorry for the silence of late, but I'm building a family and doctors need tests, mothers-to-be need rest and fathers-to-be have to keep the juggernaut on course. Speaking of juggernauts, scroll down for my earlier post on the early success of Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's revisionist, intertextual pornography tome Lost Girls if you need some background on it.

"I wouldn't want to claim for a moment that there was any sexual intention in any of the original books. But I would also like to say that yes, there is a lot of rich material in those books, and that they do provoke a sexual reading. I think that perhaps Wizard of Oz is the most innocent of the three of them. If L.

With Alice, there is some slightly more sexual imagery creeping in there, and of course there has always been a question mark hanging over Lewis Carroll." MORE
