  <default_description>For more than a century, Alice, Wendy and Dorothy have been our guides through the Wonderland, Neverland and Land of Oz of our childhoods. Now like us, these three lost girls have grown up and are ready to guide us again, this time through the realms of our sexual awakening and fulfillment. Through their familiar fairytales they share with us their most intimate revelations of desire in its many forms, revelations that shine out radiantly through the dark clouds of war gathering around a luxury Austrian hotel. Drawing on the rich heritage of erotica, &lt;i&gt;Lost Girls&lt;/i&gt; is the rediscovery of the power of ecstatic writing and art in a sublime union that only the medium of comics can achieve. Exquisite, thoughtful, and human, &lt;i&gt;Lost Girls&lt;/i&gt; is a work of breathtaking scope that challenges the very notion of art fettered by convention. This is erotic fiction at its finest.   Similar to DC's Absolute editions of &lt;i&gt;Watchmen&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Lost Girls&lt;/i&gt; will be published as three, 112-page, super-deluxe, oversized hardcover volumes, all sealed in a gorgeous slipcase. It will truly be an edition for the ages.</default_description>
