You poor blokes.

It appears you poor bastards in the UK and the EU will have to wait over a year to legally obtain a copy of Alan Moore's Lost Girls:

Top Shelf has amicably settled a potential dispute with the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, the holder of the copyright for J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan, over the publication of Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls, which includes an adult version of the character of "Wendy" from Barrie's classic fantasy tale. The settlement avoids the issue of whether or not Lost Girls represents an infringement by withholding distribution of Lost Girls in the U.K. and European Union until January 1, 2008 after the expiration the Great Ormond Street Hospital's copyright. Top Shelf is gearing up for a major European launch of the book commencing in January 2008.
