Pamela

Pamela, published by Mon Journal from 1969 to 1972, was a 15-issue French comic series centered on its glamorous, independent heroine navigating romance and adventure in a stylish, mid-century European setting. The series is best known for its iconic cover art and interior illustrations by the prolific artist Jean-Claude Forest, whose elegant, expressive linework defined the character's sophisticated allure. As a precursor to the more famous Barbarella, Pamela showcased Forest's talent for blending science fiction and fantasy elements with fashion-forward, adult-oriented storytelling, making it a distinctive and influential work in the landscape of French bande dessinée.
