Lost Girls Publication News Updates

A few news items related to the publication of Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls:

* In an e-mail making official the book's early sales success, Top Shelf's Chris Staros says that the publisher has been corresponding with the Great Ormonds Street Hospital, the organizaiton with ownership of Peter Pan in the United Kingdom and European Union, and that they will delay distribution of the book in those markets until either after their disagreements with the organization are resolved or January 1 2008. If there is enough of a delay, Top Shelf will probably do a special UK edition.

* The publisher has posted a press round-up on their site, which is interesting because it shows off not just the positive reaction most critics have had to the book but underlines its mainstream legitimacy.

* This article by Francois Peneaud indicates that Delcourt has moved the publication date of its version back to 2008 as well, one fact among many in a lengthy summary of the book's critical and commercial reception.

The Lost Girls project has been worth tracking for a number of reasons: as a major Alan Moore project, as a risk by a publisher the size of Top Shelf given the size and scope of the work, and as a further risk due to its sexual content.
