Frank Cho: Women: Selected Drawings & Illustrations Volume 1

Cho is a very well-known comic-book/graphic novel illustrator and this quite large (though slim) paperback book is the first volume of selected work by him. All the illustrations are black and white, mostly finished ink work supplemented by pencil drawings – often preparatory or alternative ideas for the final piece shown alongside. His style is comic-book/pin-up in approach but his excellent draughtsmanship is apparent in all his work There's a nice (though brief) selection of life studies at the back of the book. There's no text, so virtually every page is devoted to drawings. A super book for anyone interested in illustration work of this kind – shame there`s no “Look inside” option.

A great collection of black ink illustrations of the female figure, only the cover illustration is in colour. Frank Cho's style is instantly recognisable, curvy, beautiful women effortlessy drawn on every page and if you're reading this then you probably already know what to expect. There isn't any text in this book, it's purely illustrations but this doesn't seem to detract any value. It's a decent size at just over A4 with a glossy cover and runs at around 110 pages. Most of the illustrations are full page and as well as the finished inked pieces, there are some of the original pencil sketches included too which is a nice touch. If you're a fan of Cho's work you'll appreciate having some key pieces of his work all in one place, definitely worth a look.

As a big fan of comic books and of Art I was intrigued to get this collection of drawings, sketches and illustrations, Overall it was as I expected it to be as I am familiar with the comic book work of Frank Cho. The style and aesthetics are to my taste and my wife enjoyed the artistry and imagination as well. I would recommend this as a coffee table book, and have it stored with my other art and illustration books. I would highly recommend this book.

I have this in hardback, but the softback is nice and easy for reference, so I am glad to have it, a great book if you love good art and sexy women

this is a very good art book, i like it a lot. This is of course a matter of opinion, but I like Fran Cho's style and drawings very much, especially the way he draws his women as strong, amazon-like characters. There are lot of pages showing the scetshing stages of the pictures, and to me these are very interesting. More pages would have been nice but if you are a art collector or a fan or just like to look at beatufylly draw pictures of women, I recommend this book.

well know artist and cartoonist Frank Cho is on top form here with a collection of his work, mostly line art, featuring some of his loveliest ladies. Few at work today produce such good illustrations with such economy of line.

Wonderful artist

The pictures are reproduced to a high standard and are a good size (about 30 cm x 23 cm). It's the first time I've seen Frank Cho's work and I really like it. What's really good about the book is that many of the final illustrations are preceded by preliminary sketches which give some insight into the artist's approach. Very good value for money.
