Description

Jean-Claude Forest (Le Perreux-sur-Marne, 11 sept 1930 � Paris, 29 dec

1998) famous to be the creator of the comic Barbarella in the 1962 from which comes later in the 1968, the movie directed from Roger Vadim and interpreted from Jane Fonda.

Here can be found an original art earlier work published the 1951, JC Forest started to work in 1949, the story talks about the adventures or a primitive character Rao, and note also the presence of a pretty woman prehistoric ancestor of the future Barbarella.

Note also that this artwork was prepared with glued new text, translated from the original french (still visible under transparence) to swedish language, probably a project never completed to print the story even in north Europe (Sweden).

Jean-Claude Forest (Le Perreux-sur-Marne, 11 settembre 1930 - Parigi, 29 dicembre
1998) famoso per essere il creatore del fumetto Barbarella nel 1962 da cui viene dopo nel 1968, il film diretto da Roger Vadim e interpretato da Jane Fonda.

Qui si puo' osservare un lavoro originale pubblicato nel 1951, JC Forest ha iniziato a lavorare nel 1949. La storia narra le avventure di un personaggio primitivo "Rao", e' da notare anche la presenza di una bella donna antenata preistorica del futuro personaggio di Barbarella.

Si noti, inoltre, che in questa tavola � stato incollato il nuovo testo, tradotto dall'originale francese (ancora visibile in trasparenza) alla lingua svedese, probabilmente un progetto mai completato per stampare e vendere la storia anche in nord Europa (Svezia) oltre che in Francia.

Very cool page. Neat to see J-C's early style. It reminds me very much of Jesse Marsh.

Thanks a lot Jeff for your very very interesting notice. I didn't knew Jesse Marsh (July 27, 1907 � April 28, 1966) and I read on wiki that he draw an earlier Tarzan, all is matching, so I bet that the young teenager Jean Claude (born in 1930) read and grow up with his drawings with fantasy atmospheres with vulcanoes, dinos, wild world.
