Willy Maltaite (October 30, 1927, Anthée Belgium - February 18, 2000) known by the pseudonym Will, was a comics creator and comics artist in the Franco-Belgian tradition. In the genre known in francophone countries as bande dessinée, Will is considered one of "the Gang of 4" (which also included André Franquin, Morris, and Jijé), and a founding member of the Marcinelle school.cite web | last =Lambiek Comiclopedia | title =Will | url =http://lambiek.net/artists/w/will.htm]

Over a long association with the comics magazine "Le Journal de Spirou" starting in 1947, Will created, illustrated and wrote for several series, while for many years being chief artist of the series "Tif et Tondu" which he had inherited from Fernand Dineur, and "Isabelle". Among the series he wrote scenario for were "Spirou et Fantasio" and "Benoît Brisefer". During the period 1958-60, Will also acted as artistic director of "Spirou"'s rival publication "Tintin".
