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