Yishan Li

Yishan Li (born 1981) is a Chinese-British comics and manhua illustrator. She is self-taught. Li has worked on popular comic book titles such as Hellboy, Batwoman, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She describes her own comics as "'girly stuff' ... ranging from historical detective dramas to young girls' adventure stories".

In 2019, Lexus UK commissioned Li and two other artists to create manga-esque artwork showcasing the company's "latest and most important cars." Li drew a woman sitting on top of a Lexus UX compact SUV, enjoying the sunset after a long day at work. She was inspired by the UX's "New Horizons" tagline.

In 2020, Li illustrated a graphic novel about Frankenstein author Mary Shelley's fictional descendant, a teenage goth girl named Mary. The American Library Association selected the comic as one of its 2021 Great Graphic Novels for Teens.
