    Lost Girls is a good point (I haven't read it, but I know the rap on it, and I know the rap on Moore, and yeah I'd probably be pretty squicked out).

    I didn't know that about Besson! You may have ruined Léon for me. You really need to believe there's no question where Besson stands on sexual relationships between generations to stomach that movie.

    People are perhaps nervous about exactly where the line is between what Alan Moore writes about in for example "Lost Girls" and what Alan Moore might really believe about adolescent girls and sex.

    Similar to how people were nervous about Luc Besson who made the film Léon about the relationship between an underage girl and a middle aged hitman, not so long after marrying his very pregnant 16 year old girlfriend. Besson has in more recent years been accused of rape by several young women.
