ahhh I borrowed ruralrambler's copy of the first Bone book. It was friggen awesome! That's done by a woman? I'm very bad at not looking at the names of comic artists.
Personally I mostly only read webcomics, and a good chunk of manga when I can get my hands on it. Mostly stuff that would be found in Shonen Jump, which I guess is male targeted right? And what, Shojo Beat is supposed to be female targeted? heh, well I don't know any women who read it, but my experience is limited.
Course I'm also not the average girl...
Anyway, the only female comic artist I can think of off the top of my head is Naoko Takeuchi (I know I spelled that wrong, its been too long) who did Sailor Moon. Which, I suppose could be considered "girly" with all the romance and mostly female cast but... mmmm, I didn't see it that way. Forget the Anime for a moment (and especially the dub) but the Manga is just a good read, and an oldie too. Plus she's quite guilty of drawing long legs, small waists and, well reasonably sized breasts.
I don't really know where I was going with this... my train of thought just derailed.
oh! there's an Indie artist named Kat(ie) on devArt that I adore, and her art is certainly not girly, and mostly gaming based, but on a different strain of humor than most gaming comics.
*rummages around*
Stupid devArt made this way too hard to find.
Anyway she's Hail-NekoYasha on devArt and recently opened her own webpage... www.akwardzombie.com , but the archives don't go back quite as far.
Anyway, thought I'd share that, I absolutely adore her work, oddly drawn and wacky sense of humour that it is.
