I have seen some ****, but Lost Girls blew me away. It's a graphic novel by the same guy who did Watchmen and V for Vendetta. Think lots and lots of children having lots and lots of sex. With everyone. Including their parents. He does make a strong argument about the harmlessness of illustrated depravity though. It's a crazy experience, one minute you're scrolling through the incest, pedophilia, and rape, and the next you're like "oh, good point."

Alan Moore famously gets upset when his graphic novels are turned into films. I suppose he is fairly safe with that one. Strangely, given how you described it, I believe his wife was the illustrator.Originally Posted by JuniperWoolf
According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.

His second wife, she sure was. They seem like a sweet couple.
