Barbarella is a fictional heroine in a Frenchscience fictioncomic book created by Jean-Claude Forest.
History[edit]
Jean-Claude Forest created the character of Barbarella for serialization in the French V Magazine in spring 1962, and in 1964Éric Losfeld published these strips as a stand-alone book titled Barbarella. The book caused a scandal and became known as the first 'adult' (pornographic) comic book, though its eroticism was slight and the American erotic comic books known as 'Tijuana bibles' had long predated it. For her creator, the character embodied the modern, emancipated woman in the era of sexual liberation, and as a result, this literary work has come to be associated with the mid-20th century sexual revolution.
Barbarella was relaunched as an ongoing series by American publisher Dynamite Entertainment in December 2017.[1]Civilization 3 patch corruption.
