Barbarella












Description On The Back Cover - Barbarella is marked by the same audacity and originality, fantasy, humor, beauty and horror, cruelty and eroticism that make comic books such a favorite.  The setting is the planet Lythion in the year 40,000, when Barbarella (Jane Fonda) makes a forced landing while traveling through space.  She acts like a female James Bond, vanquishing evil in the forms of robots and monsters.  She also rewards, in an uninhibited manner, the handsome men who assist her in the adventure.  Whether she is wrestling with Black Guards, the evil Queen, or the Angel Pygar, she just can't seem to avoid losing at least part of her skin-tight space suit!

Additional Information - This movie wasn't made by Heavy Metal, but it is loosely based on the first episode of the popular story, "Barbarella" by Jean-Claude Forest.  The first episode unfortunately was not printed in Heavy Metal.  Heavy Metal only printed the third episode, "The Moon Child!", which was published in each issue from February to July 1978.
