- Name: Barbarella (Style B)
- Caption: Extremely rare and valuable Style B for Barbarella. To get the space-age feel for this late-1960s poster to promote Roger Vadim’s science fiction romp, Bill Gold experimented with shapes and stills. “The fragments are a design trick to give it something that is not the normal,” he said. “You would normally have boxes down the side show all the stills, but this has a bursting excitement to it, like something has blown up. Pieces seem to be flying off the center. So here Jane Fonda is big up top, and then when you come down below, there’s a small sexy little figure with the tag line ‘See Barbarella do her thing.’ What’s her thing? We’d love to see it.”
