Jean-Claude Forest’s BARBARELLA transformed his work and life, and it did just as much for the comics industry, liberating it to new heights and audiences worldwide. This new, contemporary English-language adaptation by Kelly Sue DeConnick remains appropriately flirty and camp whilst providing a fresh perspective, ensuring that Barbarella remains as important as a symbol of feminism as she was over 50 years ago. Strong, independent, sexually emancipated, yet with a touching fragility, Barbarella is more than a pin-up, she’s a fully rounded human being... And it’s never too late to discover, or re-discover, Forest’s iconic creation; a bright, beautiful star, forever fresh and free-spirited.
-Paul Gravett, from his foreword
“BARBARELLA is unlike anything you’ve ever read and is still miles ahead of anything that exists now.”
