About this Collection

This collection presents the 1978 graphic novel 'Barbarella: The Moon Child,' originally serialized in Heavy Metal magazine. Written and illustrated by Jean-Claude Forest, the story follows the iconic space-faring heroine on a new adventure involving a mysterious moon child. This volume marks a later chapter in Barbarella's cosmic exploits, distinct from her earlier 1960s adventures.

"The Moon Child" is a standout entry in the 1978 Heavy Metal series, featuring the legendary Barbarella in a story that bridges the gap between the original comic volume and its sequel. Written by Sean Kelly and illustrated in full by Jean-Claude Forest—whose distinctive art defines the series—this issue blends surreal visuals with a narrative that explores Barbarella’s legacy through a mix of original storytelling and cinematic stills from the iconic film. The cover, also by Forest, captures the dreamlike essence of the tale with his signature style.
