When we came across Boing Boing’s sampling of images from the latest edition of Alice in Wonderland, illustrated by Robert Ingpen, we found ourselves captivated by the new Alice. Although Ingpen hasn’t touched our heroine’s signature blue dress and white pinafore, he has transformed her from beaming blonde tween to romantic, red-headed waif. If John William Waterhouse had painted Alice’s portrait, this is how it might have looked.
Ingpen’s dreamy, new rendering also got us thinking about the many forms Alice has taken since her first appearance in 1865. After the jump, follow us down the rabbit hole to see how artists and filmmakers have portrayed Lewis Carroll’s muse over the years.

Come on, there are so many other faces missing. What about Alice from DC Vertigo’s “Fables”?
Hence the link at the bottom of the article for a larger archive of Alice. I agree with rawksavvy… How can they miss the Alice from the TV mini series in 1980-something?? I finally have a copy on DVD but it had to be a bootleg version. (I might have it on Beta somewhere.)
