Revisit The Cuphead Show's Gorgeous Animation With This Upcoming Art Book

After finding success as a stellar run-and-gun game featuring challenging and expressive bosses, Studio MDHR's Cuphead went on to earn three seasons as a Netflix animated series. The 36-episode series was well-reviewed, offering a fun new take on the adventures of Cuphead and his brother Mugman while keeping all the classic cartoon charm intact. An upcoming book, The Art of the Cuphead Show, takes a closer look at the Netflix adaptation, and it's currently available for preorder at Amazon. Whether you're a fan of the show or the original game, consider giving it a closer look ahead of its September 3 release.

The Art of the Cuphead Show

$50

The 256-page hardcover book is filled with art from The Cuphead Show. Along with vibrant images, you'll get an in-depth look at the series as writers, designers, artists, and more members of the staff provide behind-the-scenes commentary. All three seasons of the show are featured in the book, so fans should find plenty to love here.

Dark Horse Books is the publisher behind The Art of the Cuphead Show, so we'd expect it to be produced to high standards and filled with high-quality artwork. If it's anything like The Art of Cuphead, an art book focused on the video game that was also published by Dark Horse Books, it'll be a real treat. The Art of Cuphead is a phenomenal gaming art book; if you're a fan of the game and don't have it on your shelf, you can grab a copy of Cuphead's art book at Amazon for $33 (was $50). Flipping through The Art of Cuphead would be a good way to bide your free time while you wait for The Art of the Cuphead Show.

The Cuphead art books are far from the only books Studio MDHR's popular game has spawned over the years. If there are young Cuphead fans in your house, you should check out the Cuphead middle grade novels and graphic novels. There are even Cuphead Show books for beginning readers and a Little Golden Book.
