Second frame of third page of second volume:
Famous French comic of the 1960s, on which the cult film of 1968 was based. Barbarella is a leader of men and women who biffs as much as she bonks. Her clothes do have a tendency to come off, voluntarily as often as not. Kelly Sue DeConnick has now given us an updated translation, which reads a lot more smoothly and wittily than the long-standing text by Richard Seaver.
Seaver translation:
DeConnick translation:
It's not deep, but it is fun. You can get vol 1 here and vol 2 here.
