The most adventurous flight attendant in the history of aviation, Natacha first appeared in Spirou, a comic magazine, in February 1970.
Created by François Walthéry, she became the first Franco-Belgian adult heroine to feature as the protagonist of a mainstream comic series. She starred in 24 albums, selling millions of copies, both at home and abroad! In March 2025, the film Natacha (presque) hôtesse de l’air (Natacha the (almost) flight attendant) was released. It was directed by Noémie Saglio, and is based on the original screenplay by Noémie Saglio and Laurent Turner.
With their work, both have made for one happy writer-illustrator. François Walthéry is delighted to see his beloved character continue with her adventures, and the enormous work of those who have brought her back to life in a different avatar. “There is something magical about the art of creation; you provide the initial impulse, and others transform it into a whole new narrative. What matters is the movement, the rhythm - and the fact that art encourages people to take charge of their destiny and to change people’s mindsets.”
