"Barbarella" is simultaneously a quaint artifact and and the edgy progenitor of the modern graphic novel. The iconography successfully incorporates elements of Jules Verne and the Nouvelle Vague in a retro science-fiction dreamscape.
Many of the elements in the novel have been worked over ad infinitum?the leggy heroine who is a determined hedonista, but other classic ingredients of French erotic fiction are well used?court intrigue, betrayal, awkward situations, and the boundless capacity of humans to plunge blindly in pursuit of pleasure.
I hadn't read "Barbarella" in over 40 years. It was interesting to see what I'd remembered, and find out what I didn't see back in my weedy youth.
