Space Heroine Saturday BARBARELLA 2.2

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

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!

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!
