Onyx is notable for being the earliest of three Bay Area publications including Aché and Issues which focused on Black Lesbian life and culture, the longest running of which was Aché: A Journal for Lesbians of African Descent which was published from 1989 to 1993.[3] Onyx covers were illustrated by Sarita Johnson.
