Barbarella was originally a French science fiction comic book created by Jean-Claude Forest, who originated the character for serialisation in the French magazine V-Magazine in 1962. It was subsequently published as a stand-alone book by Eric Losfeld. The comic stars Barbarella, a young woman who has numerous adventures, often involving sex, while journeying around the galaxy. The original comic book version of Barbarella was probably modelled on Brigitte Bardot who was once married to the director of the 1968 film, Roger Vadim.
