Famous French comic of the 1960s, on which the cult film of 1968 was based. Barbarella is a leader of men and women who biffs as much as she bonks. Her clothes do have a tendency to come off, voluntarily as often as not. Kelly Sue DeConnick has now given us an updated translation, which reads a lot more smoothly and wittily than the long-standing text by Richard Seaver. It's not deep, but it is fun.… (more)

I'm glad I read this because I'm such a huge fan of the movie and sexy sci-fi in general and because I know what an influence this book has had on the genre but it wasn't easy to get through. The ideas are wild and high concept and the character of Barbarella is campy and delightfully femininst but the narrative here is clunky and disjointed. Again, glad I read it, won't need to read it again.
