The Art of Frank Cho looks back on the last 20 years of comic book artist Frank Cho’s explosive career, and how he achieved it.

What does this book cover?

Frank Cho is perhaps best known for his work for the major American comic book and superhero brands, but this retrospective starts with his early student work, and the pieces he did for relatively minor, creator-owned comics.

Readers will learn a great deal about Cho’s art through:

• The artist’s own commentary on more than 380 of his most iconic (and most obscure) pieces of work
• A number of covers and interior pages the artist himself chose especially for this volume
• Pencil sketches and previously unpublished preliminary pieces from Cho’s archives
• Step by step walkthroughs of his process
• Behind the scenes sneak peaks at work that is yet to be released
