Based on the Belgian comic by François Walthéry, who had sketched a female character inspired by a neighbor, childhood friend, and actresses Mireille Darc and Dany Carrel, during the months of his Military Service. Yvan Delporte, then editor-in-chief of Spirou, discovered these sketches at the time when Walthéry was working in the Peyo studio and advised him to develop the character to create a heroine for the magazine, editor Charles Dupuis being favorable to the project. Gos, Walthéry’s colleague in the studio with whom he created the Jacky and Célestin series, proposes a rough storyline and he begins to draw some scattered pages, while prioritizing the Benoît Brisefer episodes. When Thierry Martens took over from Delporte at Spirou, he discovered the early pages of Natacha and, wanting to publish the series as soon as possible, 18 albums followed and achieved international success.
