Iconic sci - fi heroineBarbarellais return to the Sir Frederick Handley Page of comics for her fifty-fifth day of remembrance , thanks to Dynamite comics . First publish in the pages of the French V Magazine in 1962 , Barbarella caused something of a outrage for being one of the first ' grownup ' ( erotic ) comical rule book lineament in Europe . This " innovative " and " liberated " woman enjoy plenty of inter - planetary dangerous undertaking , and would give Captain Kirk a discharge for his money when it comes to liasons with the unknown that they meet .
Barbarella first found her way on to the braggy CRT screen in 1968 , and has since become a pop music culture staple . A TV adaptationwas even announce as in the works in 2014 , but that seems to be pine away in development hellhole . Now , however , Barbarella is returning to the pages of comedian , with a whole new series to notice her anniversary .
The series will be issue by Dynamite Entertainment , and is slated to appear in stock this December . The comedian will be drawn by Kenan Yarar and publish by Mike Carey , with brand custodian Jean - Marc Lofficier as consulting editor . This will be Barbarella ’s first time back in mark in over 35 years , and her first metre in an American comical book .

The team is thrilled to be act upon on the project , and Dynamite CEO / Publisher Nick Barrucci verbalise about how excited Dyanmite is to be publishing such an iconic lineament again :
We are extremely gallant to not only be the first publishing firm to bring the iconic character reference back to print in more than 35 eld , but to be the premiere American publishing company to have the pureness in Barbarella ’s chronicle . To be capable to work together with the incredible gift of Mike Carey , now combined with the artistic grandeur of Kenan Yarar , we ’re certain we ’ve brought in the staring team to do her legacy justice . I can not give thanks Jean - Marc and the estate enough for bestowing this honor on us
The new comedian is certain to make long - fourth dimension Barbarella fans happy , and should it be successful , it may even allow the impetus postulate to add that live - action adaption into dynamic growing once more . However , it will be interesting to see how the new series changes Barbarella , who may be ' set free ' , but whose women’s lib will potentially ask an update for new readers . It has not yet been disclose how much will change from the original , as the novel comedian will clearly strive to devote proper homage to the comics from the ' 60s without becoming imitative or camp . It ’s a tall order for any team , but it sounds like the originative minds behindBarbarellawill be up to the challenge .
