“The world of Cuphead features some of the most visually compelling artwork created in the modern age and we are thrilled that Dark Horse, who has been a committed partner since the game first launched, is now taking fans deep inside the creative process behind the game and animated series with two new beautiful art books,” said Christina Nix Lynch, Senior Director, Licensing, King Features. “As Cuphead’s universe continues to expand from gaming to television to books, we’re committed to building a lasting legacy for Cuphead, Mugman, and their companions that keep fans emersed in the adventures of the Inkwell Isles.”
“One of the hardest things to do when bringing any art to life is spending so much time with your head down, often working in secret on things you aren’t quite ready to show off,” reflects Studio MDHR Chief Operating Officer Maja Moldenhauer. “With that in mind, we couldn’t be happier that the team at Dark Horse is helping both ourselves and the amazing creatives at Netflix Animation pull back the curtain on The Delicious Last Course and The Cuphead Show! So much love and attention has gone into making these latest art book releases truly meaningful deep dives into the world of Cuphead, and we can’t wait for our community to get their hands on both titles.”
All three books will be available for purchase through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and TFAW.
Cuphead is a classic run and gun action video game created by independent developer Studio MDHR. Inspired by the cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era with the traditional hand-drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings. Cuphead recently celebrated its 6th Anniversary on Xbox by bringing behind-the-scenes content exclusively to players of the gaming system. Following the success of the video game, three seasons of the animated series, The Cuphead Show! debuted on Netflix in 2022.
