‘The ‘ella’ on Barbarella was probably suggested by Feiffer’s<\/a> Passionella, a brilliant satire on the Cinderella theme and much of American culture.’<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1966, French scifi comic Barbarella<\/a> was published in a the US in a translated edition.<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Minimal color, racy stories. Robot sex. <\/p>\n

The original, a serialized comic strip, was created in 1962 by Jean-Claude Forest for V magazine.<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n

Pictured, images from the American edition – which designwise is rather Lichtenstein<\/a> in its visual approach (see bottom).<\/p>\n

Here’s The San Francisco Chronicle’s<\/em> take on the book<\/a> – from July 17, 1966 – the clipped review was found in my thrift-store-grabbed<\/em> copy.<\/p>\n

By 1968, Roger Vadim, Paco Rabanne and Jane Fonda made Barbarella into ‘something else.’<\/a> And up next, (allegedly) Anne Hathaway.<\/a><\/p>\n

More original Barbarella here.<\/a><\/p>\n
