Geisha by Andi Watson, Matt Wagner

A totally simple comic with a simple storyline and simple drawings. Whats makes it good is the setting and characters are not simple.

I would tell you the story about how I managed to get a copy of this book for free, but I don't want anyone at the bookstore to get in trouble, so I guess I won't. Which I suppose means I actually have to talk about the story instead. Geisha is about an "artificial" girl raised with a human family in a world where most artificials exist in some sort of service profession (the fact that she is artificial is somehow instantly recognized by most people in this world, who frequenty assume she is a prostitute.) Trained as a bodyguard with her brothers, she's trying to make a living as an artist until the prospect of not being able to pay rent forces her to beg for a job from her father in the family business. Which is of course where our story starts.

As much as I enjoyed this story, I think my comic collection is now fully saturated with cutesy girl comics. I need something by Alan Moore or Joe Sacco next. Or maybe some old Gaiman that I still don't have...
