Reading Room: 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.

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

YouTube Wednesday: The FIRST Live-Action THOR!
 |
| Thor (Erik Allan Kramer), Stan Lee, and The Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). |

And later the two team-up to...well, you'll get the idea...
Besides being a continuation of The Incredible Hulk tv storyline in a series of tv movies, this was a "backdoor pilot" to promote The Mighty Thor in his own tv series.
