READ THE ACCLAIM!
"LULU is a serious work. But one in no way pompous. The story explores the power dynamic of sex and gender. Dark undercurrents pervade it. It requires and assumes emotional intelligence of its reader – and an understanding of the medium skilfully employed to tell it...Generally these days most comic books fail to enthuse me. It’s not the medium it’s the message. More power to John Linton Roberson for ploughing his deviant furrow." (read more here)

"LULU
translates into graphic storytelling terms
Wedekind’s meditation on sexual repression and its
role
in facilitating exploitative seduction with all its
disturbing ferocity intact." Martin
Pasko, writer of Action
Comics, Batman:
the Animated Series, E-Man, Saga of the Swamp Thing,
and Wonder Woman.
You might think she's a femme fatale. But then you'd have it backwards.
At last collected in print and digital, the first volume of acclaimed cartoonist John Linton Roberson's adaptation of the notorious sex tragedy by Frank Wedekind (author of Spring Awakening) and adapted by Walerian Borowczyk, Lou Reed, G.W. Pabst and Alban Berg (and banned by the Nazis as "degenerate"). Now in comics for the first time!
Also included, a full collection of production sketches and other drawings, and a brand-new introduction from award-winning comics writer Martin Pasko.
