Dynamite Entertainment will release Barbarella #1, the first issue in a new ongoing series, in July.
Barbarella's last stint in comic books began in 2017, when Dynamite launched her first ongoing series (see "'Barbarella' Launch Revealed"). Now, she's back with Sarah Hoyt at the helm. Hoyt has written several novels in the science fiction, fantasy, and mystery genres, and has won Promethus and Dragon Awards.
"The work of learning a new format was overshadowed by the fun of being able to think big and play with someone else’s no-holds-barred character," said Hoyt about her work on the new series.
She is joined on this comic book creation adventure by artist Madibek Musabekov (Vampirella vs Purgatori), colorist Ivan Nunes, and letterer Carlos Mangual. The covers for the first issue are rendered by a talented group of artists. The main cover is done by Lucio Parrillo, and the variants include a cover done by Brian Bolland, Derrick Chew, and Dani. There will also be a cosplay cover featuring Rachel Hollon.
