Yvan Delporte (24 June 1928 - 5 March 2007) was a Belgian comics writer, and was editor-in-chief of Spirou magazine between 1955 and 1968 during a period considered by many the golden age of Franco-Belgian comics. He is credited with several creative contributions, among these his collaborations with Peyo on The Smurfs, with Rene Follet on Steve Severin (1/2) and Andre Franquin with the creation of Gaston Lagaffe and the co-authorship of Idees noires. Delporte started at Spirou as a retoucher and handler of other odd jobs, but in time touched upon a great deal of different occupations within the comics industry. In 1955, upon becoming editor-in-chief of Spirou in place of Charles Dupuis, a long-lasting collaboration with Franquin began, which would spawn many creations.
