Space Heroine Saturdays BARBARELLA 3.2

When Last We Left Our Heroine...

Barbarella met a number of inhabitants of the labyrinth surrounding Lythion's capital city, Sogo, including Pygar the blind angel, and Earth scientist Durand.
With their help, Barbarella defeated the LeatherMen and is now en-route to the city itself.

While many elements were adapted into the feature film with minimal alteration, there's one startling difference...Durand, the main villain of the movie, is a good guy in the original comic strip!

More Barbarella soon.

Space Heroine Saturdays / Baker Reading Room MYSTA OF THE MOON "Prison Break on Paladnor!"

The February Matt Baker Posts have been Space-Oriented...

...but our final one goes full-on SPACE OPERA...starring a beautiful woman as the protagonist!
Surprise!

Though he didn't create Mysta of the Moon, Matt Baker demonstrates a wonderful "feel" for the character!

Makes me wish he had a chance to do more stuff for Planet Comics!
This tale from Fiction House's Planet Comics #58 (1949), was the first of two consecutive stories he penciled, inked by long-time associate Ray Osrin.
The script was by ongoing series writer Ross Galun.

Space Heroine Saturdays ALICE "Flying Saucers"

I always wondered what happens when someone takes the concept of "flying saucers" literally...

...as the amazing Dave Berg did in this Allen Anderson cover-featured tale from Ziff-Davis' Alice #11 (1953)!

And, yes, this strip is about an updated version of Lewis Carroll's Alice from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass!

Not quite the sort of "flying saucers" we usually present, eh?

Space Heroine Saturday BARBARELLA 2.2

When Last We Left Our Space Heroine...

With Captain Dildano and the rest of his crew dead, and their ship a derelict, Barbarella is stranded on Lython...

There are more plot elements and characters who ended up in the movie, though at the flick's beginning, rather than midway through the story, as they do here.

Some characters like "Klill, the horrid little Martian", didn't appear in the film.
The explanation of why the inhabitants are dressed in mid-19th Century Earth fashions was utilized a year later in the Classic Star Trek episode "Squire of Gothos".
At any rate, the "antique-looking" clothing and technology didn't make it into the movie's version of this sequence!

Space Heroine Saturdays BARBARELLA 2.1

When Last We Left Our Heroine...

All you really need to know is that Captain Dildano's spacecraft was forced down by a gigantic jellyfish...ok, plot logic is not the strip's strong suit.

Just enjoy the kool art...

Dildano also dies in the movie, but under vastly different circumstances.

In fact, this particular sequence is not adapted into the 1960s cult classic flick!

More in the near future!
