Milo Manara has never hidden the inspirational debt towards Jean Claude Forest and her main heroine, the first of the erotic comic strip, the blonde Barbarella. Dino De Laurentiis commissioned a series of sketches to Milo Manara, for the realization of a remake ever made of the film "Barbarella" by Roger Vadim, dated 1967, with Jane Fonda. Here some studies of that commission. Milo Manara has also signed the Cover Variant of the Integral edition of the original comic book by Barbarella, which COMICON Edizioni has published in 2016.
