Barbarella #[nn]
In "La Planète des fleurs," Barbarella crash-lands on the lush, crystalline world of Lythion, where the horticultural Adonides are locked in a bitter conflict with the Orhomrs over a vital underground river. With her usual mix of charm and determination, she sets out to broker peace between the warring factions—though the true nature of the planet’s fragile ecosystem may hold secrets even she can’t foresee. Written and illustrated entirely by Jean-Claude Forest, this 1964 issue features his distinctive, surreal art style, with cover art by Forest himself, capturing the dreamlike beauty of Cristallia in vivid, hand-inked detail.
In "La Planète des fleurs," Barbarella crash-lands on the lush, crystalline world of Lythion, where the horticultural Adonides wage a bitter war against the Orhomrs over control of a vital underground river. As she navigates the city of Cristallia, she takes it upon herself to broker peace between the warring factions—though the path to reconciliation is as tangled as the planet’s blooming vines.
In "Les prisonniers de la Méduse," Barbarella stows away on a starship bound for a colossal deep-sea jellyfish, only to find herself and the crew trapped by a band of space pirates led by the enigmatic Medusa. The story unfolds in the eerie, luminous depths of an alien ocean, where danger and desire swirl in equal measure.
In "La Chasse du Trident," Barbarella and her companions flee across a sun-scorched desert only to find themselves trapped in a hidden canyon lined with petrified flora—where ancient, monstrous creatures rise from the sand to hunt them. The story unfolds with relentless tension as survival depends on instinct, speed, and the unknown dangers lurking beneath the cracked earth.
In "Antan," Barbarella is taken by the twin princesses Stomoxys and Glossina to a city eerily modeled after Earth in the 19th century, where steam and silk meet in a world both familiar and alien. The story unfolds in a lush, dreamlike setting where every street corner hums with secrets and desire.
In "Le labyrinthe de Sogo," Barbarella emerges from the depths to find herself trapped within a vast, surreal maze surrounding the city of Sogo. As she navigates its shifting corridors, her only goal is escape—though the labyrinth itself seems to watch, breathe, and resist her every move.
In "Sogo 2," Barbarella and Pygar slip into the city of Sogo, where Barbarella devises a daring plan to overthrow the tyrant—using her own allure as her greatest weapon within the palace walls.
In "Sogo 3," Barbarella, still reeling from her encounters with advanced machines, ventures into the surreal Saal der Träume. With Pygar and the mind-controlled Desidero-Bus at her side, she embarks on a daring mission to abduct the Queen of Sogo—her next move, and the fate of the journey, still shrouded in mystery.
