After surviving the Excessive Machine, Barbarella ends up in the bedroom of the Queen of Sogo.

Barbarella wouldn't have a new adventure until 1974, when Wrath Of The Minute Eater was published in France.
Two more graphic novels, False Moon aka Moon Child (1977) and Storm Mirror (1982), have appeared since.
