Jodelle (comic)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jodelle ( Les aventures de Jodelle ) is an erotic comic drawn by Guy Peellaert and written by Pierre Bartier and published in 1966.

Plot and publication

Jodelle, modeled on the French singer Sylvie Vartan , is an agent in ancient Rome, where the contemporary consumer and cultural world is present. Cars are pulled by horses and stars like Charles Aznavour and the Beatles perform. She supports Emperor Augustus in uncovering the intrigue of a proconsul .

The French original edition Les aventures de Jodelle was published by the French publisher Eric Losfeld in 1966. The German-language edition was published by Schünemann in 1967, translated by Ingrid Eichler . An English-language edition - translated by Richard Seaver - was published by Grove Press (New York) that same year. Another German-language publication followed in 1971 as a sequel to the comic magazine Pip .

reception

Fritz J. Raddatz described Jodelle 1967 in the time as "a pseudo-monster horror spy story from a anachronistically Americanized ancient Rome". In addition, he took the view that “the new heroines of the western world”, to whom he counted alongside Jodelle also Barbarella and Phoebe Zeit-Geist , were “servants of a fashionable snob appeal” who “should serve the reading illiterate [...] ". According to Andreas C. Knigge , Jodelle “ stands out from the science fiction backgrounds in the series Barbarella and Scarlett Dream through a clear commitment to Pop Art ”. Knigge also makes Jodelle responsible for creating the adult comics alongside Barbarella and Valentina . According to Franco Fossati, the comic "although there is only one single Jodelle adventure [...] deserves a mention because of the extremely original graphics of Guy Peellaert".
