The late Jean-Claude Forest was born in this day in 1930. Forest was the writer/artist who created Barbarella, who made her debut in 1962. Forest’s popular sexy space heroine was an enormous influence (spiritually, if not stylistically) on sci-fi BD and the general concept of comics for grownups. Azpiri’s Lorna, Frank Thorne’s LANN, and even our own Taarna the Taarakian have strands or chunks of Barbarella DNA. . Here’s the poster for Barbarella 2. . There was no Barbarella 2. This poster was created by @ashleywoodart for a “sequels that don’t exist” exhibit by @iam8bit . #jeanclaudeforest #barbarella #ashleywood #barbarella2 #fakemovieposter https://www.instagram.com/p/B2SWDw0F_cd/?igshid=16d9n336v6z22
