Space Heroine Saturdays BARBARELLA 1.2

Barbarella crash-landed on the planet Lythion where, after a number of...interesting...situations, she managed to reunite two long-feuding races, ending their centuries-long war.
With her ship destroyed, the amazing woman gets a lift from a conveniently-arriving space freighter and is off to another astounding adventure on other worlds...

We'll return to Barbarella in the near future...after we catch our breath...
It's interesting to see various plot elements and characters that Roger Vadim and Claude Brulé re-composited in the 1960s movie's script!
Speaking of which...

Space Heroine Saturdays: BARBARELLA Part 1.0

While most are familiar with the psychedelic movie starring Jane Fonda...

...few are those who read the entire Barbarella saga, much less the four stories that comprise the translated graphic novel that introduced her to English-speaking fans in 1966 after becoming a smash hit in Europe.
Now, jump in, the way readers in the '60s had to, and try to keep up...
Tune in
Next Saturday
 for the conclusion to Part 1
Note: This material is from the original Grove Press edition from 1966.

Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Satellite of the Moon Spiders!"

Tara's home, Wonder Comics, had been cancelled...
...but there was still one graphic tale of fighting interplanetary injustice to be told!
Our Space Heroine's final comic story appeared in Standard's Thrilling Comics #71 (1949), illustrated by her co-creator Gene Fawcette.
But, this isn't her last appearance in Space Heroine Saturdays!
What does that mean?
You'll find out next month!

Space Heroine Saturdays TARA "Death that Grew!"

You think COVID-19 was bad?
How about a disease created as a biological weapon, as in this never-reprinted tale illustrated by Gene Fawcette?
The writer for this never-reprinted tale from Nedor's Wonder Comics #20 (1948) is (as usual) unknown.
This was the final issue of Wonder Comics...but not then end of the adventures of the Queen of the Space Pirates!
Tara will return with a final tale from another Nedor comic as well as several illustrated text features we haven't run yet, and a cover art gallery!
