This large format book 33cm x 25.5cm 1.7 Kg is the queen of the erotic psychedelic graphic novels of the late 1960s. It’s way more far-out and better illustrated than any of it’s contemporaries : Jean-Claude Forest’s 1964 Barbarella, Guy Peellaert’s 1966 Jodelle (David Bowie Diamond Dogs ) and 1967’s Pravda La Survireuse or Guido Crepax’s 1966 Valentina.
French language throughout.
N.B : When the original artwork was scaled down, so were the speech bubbles and therefore as a precaution the publisher added (to some copies) a cheap plastic magnifier. See the gallery photos – the addition of this cheap piece of plastic was useless as most of the caption are legible. While it’s assumed that not all copies had these, they clearer got lost as they’re pretty scarce.
