Jean-Claude Forest. Jean-Claude Forest (11 September 1930 – 29 December 1998) was a writer and illustrator of comics and the creator of character Barbarella. Contents. Biography. Jean-Claude Forest was born in Le Perreux-sur-Marne, a Paris suburb [1] and graduated from the Paris School of Design in the early 1950s and immediately began working as an illustrator. While at the Paris School of Design Forest drew his first comic strip, Flèche Noire (The Black Arrow). After creating Le Vaisseau Hanté (The Ghost Ship) he illustrated several issues of Charlot , a popular French series loosely based on Charlie Chaplin. Forest eventually became the premier cover artist of French publisher Gallimard's leading French science-fiction paperback imprint, Le Rayon Fantastique , also drawing covers for numerous French newspapers and magazines including France Soir . Together with renowned film director Alain Resnais, Forest was one of the founders of the French Comic-Strip Club in the early 1960s. Forest became world famous when he created the sexy sci-fi strip Barbarella , which was originally published in France in V-Magazine in 1962. The strip was an immediate bestseller and was soon translated into a dozen languages. In 1967 it was adapted by Terry Southern and Roger Vadim and made into a major motion picture, with Forest acting as design consultant. Forest created many other cartoons and comic books, also writing scripts for comic strips and for French television. He was awarded the Grand Prize at the 1984 Angoulême Comics Festival and in Sierre (Switzerland) in 1986. Jean-Claude Forest suffered from severe asthma for many years and died in 1998 at the age of 68. User Search limit reached - please wait a few minutes and try again.

Privacy Details. Barbarella (comics) Barbarella is a fictional heroine in a French science fiction comic book created by Jean-Claude Forest. Contents. History. Jean-Claude Forest created the character of Barbarella for serialization in the French magazine V-Magazine in spring 1962, and in 1964 Eric Losfeld later published these strips as a stand-alone book, under the title Barbarella . The stand-alone version caused a scandal and became known as the first "adult" comic-book, despite its eroticism being slight and the existence of the Tijuana bibles well before this date. Although published by a traditional company, the book anticipated the sexual revolution. For her creator, the character embodied the modern emancipated woman in the era of sexual liberation. This work is associated with the sexual revolution. The struggle for sexual freedom in comics was most prominently conducted in France through emancipated female characters like Barbarella (1962), Jodelle (1966), Pravda (1967), Scarlet Dream (1981), Saga de Xam (1967), Wolinski's Paulette (1971). Notable works in this trend outside of France have been Phoebe Zeit-Geist (1965) and (1969) in USA, Modesty Blaise (1963) in the UK, Valentina (1965) and Angiolini's Isabella (1966) in Italy. [1] Characters. Barbarella : A young woman who travels from planet to planet and has numerous adventures, often involving Sex (the aliens she meets often seduce her, and she also experiments with a "machine excessive" or "orgasmotron"). The original comic book version of Barbarella was probably modeled on Brigitte Bardot, who was once married to the director of the 1968 film, Roger Vadim. Vadim's third wife, Jane Fonda, starred as Barbarella in the 1968 movie based on the character. Duran : A one-eyed old man who helps Barbarella. Pygar : A blind 'angel' guided by Barbarella, he is the last of the ornithanthropes (bird-men). La Reine noire (The Black Queen): A villainess who reigns in the town of Sogo, surrounded by a maze, on the planet Lythion. Lio : A brown-haired teenage girl saved by Barbarella who must save the town governed by her father in Les Colères du mange-minutes . (The chanteuse Lio drew her stage name from this character.) Mado : Female prostitute robot (gynoïde), whose "breakdown" Barbarella repairs. Narval : An "aiguiote" (aquatic man) who comes from Citerne IV to complete his scientific research in Les Colères du mange-minutes . L'artiste : A self-portrait of Jean-Claude Forest. Named Browningwell in Semble Lune , he and Barbarella have a child together. Bibliography. Barbarella (originally serialized in "V-Magazine", 1962; book by Eric Losfeld, 1964) Les Colères du Mange-Minutes [The Wrath Of The Minute Eater] (Kesselring, 1974) Le Semble-Lune [The False Moon] (Horay, 1977, ISBN 2-7058-0045-X) Le Miroir aux Tempêtes [The Storm Mirror] (Albin Michel, 1982) (art by Daniel Billon, ISBN 2-226-01441-1) The stories have been reprinted by Dargaud and Les Humanoïdes Associés.

Popular culture. 1980s pop band Duran Duran takes its name from a character in the 1968 film Barbarella : Barbarella's mission in the film is to find a scientist named Durand Durand (pronounced "Duran Duran"). In addition, one of the band's hit songs is entitled "Electric Barbarella". The British band Jamiroquai mentions a "baby Barbarella" in their hit song Cosmic Girl. The Hungarian Omega band had a song titled "Oh, Barbarella" in the early 1970s. Barbarella is also mentioned in Serge Gainsbourg's song "Qui est In Qui est Out". The British Funk band Capri recorded the song "Barbarella" in 2000, releasing it four years later on the Boogie Man album. Although titled Barbarella, it was an original song and not a cover of the song used in the 1968 film. "Barbarella as a Boy" is the title of a song by Devil May Cry , a former project of singer-songwriter Izzy Novak. An aged Barbarella appeared in Forest's Mysterious Morning, Noon and Evening . The electronic music group Matmos and the Lava Lamp manufacturer Mathmos are named after the lake of evil goo beneath the city of Sogo. Czech comic illustrator Kája Saudek has used Barbarella as a model for the main character of his comic albums Muriel and Angels and Muriel and the Orange Death. The Character played by Michelle Chong, a Sarong Party Girl, in The Noose is named after her.
