: John Byrne: If you've bought Alan Moore's Lost Girls, you're an asshole.
So. Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls, FTNITK, is a work of comics pornography (their choice of word) some sixteen years in the making. Top Shelf Comics is releasing the three-volume, slipcased complete edition later this summer. August, to be exact.
Already, I'm getting sick of the wank[*] over this thing, which has pretty much been up and down the comics blogosphere for the last month or so, but which seems to be reaching a fever pitch as publication draws nearer.
( Details behind the clicky. )
[*] I also feel compelled to add that anyone engaging in literal wank over this book had better have a sturdy bedside lectern. The volumes, by all account, are quite weighty and not exactly one-handed reading.
