Éric Losfeld

Éric Losfeld (Mouscron, 1922 - Paris, 1979) was a Belgian-born French publisher who had a reputation for publishing controversial material with his publishing imprint Éditions Le Terrain Vague.[1]

He was the publisher of Emmanuelle (1967), two film magazines (Midi Minuit Fantastique and Positif) founded by Ado Kyrou, and the Barbarella science fiction comic book created by Jean-Claude Forest.[2]

Losfeld's tombstone inscription reads, "Tout ce qu'il éditait avait le souffle de la liberté." ("Everything he edited had the breath of freedom.").
