This is the second printing of the translated BARBARELLA comic book that coincided with the release of the film in 1968. Originally published in 1964 by Le Terrain Vague, it was created by Jean-Claude Forest. The first US edition was published as a hardback in 1966. The second edition was published in 1968 as a softcover. To increase marketability the second edition came with a photo of Jane Fonda as the titular (no pun intended) character.





































Part 2 tomorrow.
