He then worked for the magazines O.K., Caméra 34 and Vaillant. For the latter, he created the 'Copyright/Copyrit' series. he joined the S.P.E. ('Société Parisienne d'Édition) in 1952, where he took over the 'Charlot' character and began series like 'Mike Hagarth'. Throughout the 1950s, he was an illustrator for numerous magazines and pocket books.

Deconnick, Kelly Sue: - Kelly Sue DeConnick is best known for surprise hits like Carol Danvers' rebranding as Captain Marvel and the Eisner-nominated mythological western, Pretty Deadly; the latter was co-created with artist Emma Ríos. DeConnick's most recent venture, the sci-fi kidney-punch called Bitch Planet, co-created with Valentine De Landro, launched to rave reviews in December 2014 and has since been nominated for an Eisner. DeConnick lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, Matt Fraction, and their two children.

Praise for this book

"The feisty French comic book siren Barbarella, who made her debut in 1962, was ahead of her time--but also of it."-- "The New York Times"

"[T]he comics version of Barbarella resonates as an early example of the fully empowered female comics protagonist."-- "Publishers Weekly"

"It's as close as English-language readers will get to the 'humor and the expression of liberty' that Forest desired."-- "Comics Journal"
