Yishan Li (born 1981)[1] is a Chinese-British comics and manhua illustrator.[2] She is self-taught.[3] Li has worked on popular comic book titles such as Hellboy,[4] Batwoman,[5] and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[6] She describes her own comics as "'girly stuff' ... ranging from historical detective dramas to young girls' adventure stories".[7]

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.[3]

In 2020, Li illustrated a graphic novel about Frankenstein author Mary Shelley's fictional descendant, a teenage goth girl named Mary.[8] The American Library Association selected the comic as one of its 2021 Great Graphic Novels for Teens.[9]
