Natacha #9

Natacha #9 brings the beloved Franco-Belgian series to a tantalizing crossroads with "Les Machines incertaines" — a title that perfectly matches the unease written across Natacha's face on this 1983 Dupuis cover. François Walthéry and Jidéhem stage a striking scene: a wide-eyed, alarmed Natacha in the foreground, while behind her a gleaming, saucer-like control room buzzes with uniformed figures and banks of monitors. It's a confident showcase of Walthéry's expressive character work paired with Jidéhem's richly detailed mechanical environments — exactly the blend of human drama and sci-fi intrigue that keeps readers turning pages.
