Andi Watson, born Andrew Watson in 1969, is a British cartoonist and illustrator who emerged in the 1990s with a quiet, character-driven style that set him apart from the bombastic superhero norm. He is best known for his original graphic novels *Breakfast After Noon* and *Slow News Day*, as well as the ongoing series *Skeleton Key* and *Love Fights*, both published by Oni Press and Slave Labor Graphics. Watson’s work often blends slice-of-life intimacy with subtle genre elements, earning him a devoted readership.

He has also contributed as an artist, colorist, inker, letterer, and writer across 130 issues from 1995 to 2024.
