Dynamite Entertainment announced writer Blake Northcott and artist Anna Morozova are teaming for a new Barbarella series this October.
“There are only a handful of sci-fi/fantasy characters who have endured for decades, and Barbarella is right at the top of the list, alongside Leia, Ripley, and Sarah Connor,” said writer Blake Northcott. “Telling one of her stories is the opportunity of a lifetime — how could I say no to that?”
The series finds Barbs fresh off from saving the universe (again), and cherishing a little rest and relaxation with her unique alien pet companion Vix. This is Barbarella after all though, and she’s about to discover that not all pleasure planets are created equal. In fact, some are downright unreal!
Meanwhile, all the way across the galaxy, there is something off about Earth’s oldest and most venerable colony. Altogether, Barbarella’s uniquely well-rounded skills will be in dire need across the cosmos, and she’s sure to run into all manner of unscrupulous figures along the way!
In the new tales from Northcott and Morozova, Barbarella will visit a number of new planets that have never been explored before. She’s going to be getting up to more planet-hopping than readers have ever seen in previous adventures. Along the way she will meet both new characters as well as returning favorites for diehard fans, especially those familiar with the classic film, and the recently introduced Vix.
More information will be shared at next week’s San Diego Comic-Con.
