If you want to see a collection of Frank Cho's drawings, covers, and character sketches, you got hold of the right book. If you do not like Frank Cho, skip it.Thanks Hoopla, for a chance to look at this book.
Showcases a lot of Cho's work for Marvel and Dynamite. Cho is one of my favorite artists in comics. His work is just so clean and concise, along with some cheesecake. I like how for a lot of it we get to see both the pencils and final artwork.
Book of Frank Cho's drawings. Not a comic book.
It's exactly what the title says it is.The babes all look like they just had boob jobs that were still swollen from the surgery.I really enjoyed seeing the pencil sketches on one page and the final result on the next.
I've just added a star to this one on the grounds that I really can't fault cho's artwork. I normally read fiction and non-fiction but went through a short period of buying various artists art books.

Not just apes & babes in this artbook, but 100% pure awesomess Frank Cho style!Perfection.
Frank Cho's art work is the best in the biz and his depiction of the female form is top notch. He uus definitely one of my top favorite artists.
The visual medium expressed in pleasing form. Not to mention some distinct physiological details that might be considered risque out of biology texts.
Frank Cho is at once a modern artist and a classic at the same timeHis work is instantly recognizable as harkening to the pulp erawhen everythingwas Apes & BabesBeautiful and incrediblewith out any storywhat so ever the art work here is captivatingOne of the most amazing artists working today
A nice collection of artwork from a great comic illustrator. Text accompanying the pictures about the art itself or his process would have greatly improved this book.
Nice collectionArt book comicsFrank Cho is obviously very talented and is capable in both humorous as serious art. His work is even lovingly crafted, and he acknowledges the debt he owes to his various colorists.The only mar to my mind is that of Amazon's software. With the kindle I can zoom in to check the details. With Kindle for PC, I get no zoom option at attention. I pay the same price for my books, but one format gives complete access and the other, non-proprietary format text so tiny I ca...
It's a Frank Cho artbook, so you know what you're getting (it's in the title) and whether you like it or not.
It's hard to rate an art book because you either like the art or don't. It's hard to fault a book that follows the two tenants of art books: be mostly art, include process work. I didn't give this book five stars because it had no content beside art. I expect that in a sketch book, but not an art book. I wanted a least a few words from the artist sprinkled throughout about his work and especially pertaining to specific works. Mike Mignola's Art of Hellboy does this excellently. The version I rea...
Frank Cho's artwork is amazing and this book captured more of his recent work perfectly. The only think I would have liked more would have been Cho describing his methods to creating the art.
Eye candy and a lesson in drawing monsters at the same time!!
(More pictures at parkablogs.com)Apes and Babes should be the first art book of Frank Cho feature more of his action and superhero comic art. It's a 144-page hardcover with a dust jacket.The book features comic covers he has drawn for Marvel, Jungle Girl, Liberty Meadows and Mars. I'm not sure what Mars is but it's something like Conan, Xena, Frank Frazetta kind of art. For many of the illustrations, he has included the pencil line art version so you can see the before and after. Even though
Ooooh pretty.
Cho and babes. Nuff said.
