Lost Girls Articles Fail To Take?

It's too soon to conclude there won't be some sort of sustained news cycle of complaint regarding Top Shelf's publication of Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's massive Lost Girls when the book gets out there into wider circulation, but it sure looks like the first run at one based on the Great Ormond Street Hospital For Children's nebulous expression of concern -- resulting in a BBC article, radio story and subsequent wire pick-up -- has thus far failed to steamroll into a huge, nettlesome concern for the project. Even an article like this one seems more clueless and grumpy than potently opposed, and even the (I think false) assertion that Alan Moore failed to consider the hospital's point of view totally pales next to the extremely rational statement on Moore's part that no one is going to read this massive, sprawling and elaborately produced work that doesn't absolutely want to. Kudos to Top Shelf and Moore for remaining forthright on the subject.
