Geisha

Andi Watson’s Geisha, launched by Oni Press in 1998, is a four-issue miniseries that blends historical fantasy with personal drama, following a young woman navigating a world of magic and tradition in feudal Japan. Watson wrote and illustrated the entire run, crafting a visually distinctive tale that stands as an early example of the creator-owned, genre-bending stories that defined Oni’s reputation. Its quiet, character-driven approach and lush, stylized art make it a noteworthy entry in late-1990s independent comics.
