Sexual Peter Pan spinoff annoys hospital

Published: June 23, 2006 at 5:38 PM

LONDON, June 23 (UPI) -- The British hospital that controls the rights to Peter Pan and his friends wants to bury a graphic novel that shows Wendy getting a sex education.

Alan Moore, who also created "V For Vendetta," put Wendy in erotic situations in "The Lost Girls." He told The Times of London that his work does not infringe on the rights of the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

J.M. Barrie left the rights to "Peter Pan" to the hospital at his death. If Moore wants to avoid a legal fight, all he has to do is wait a couple of years. The hospital's rights expire in 2008.
