Frank Cho was born near Seoul, South Korea in 1971, and moved to the United States when he was six. A self-taught artist, Cho graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in nursing but gained early acclaim for his comic strip Liberty Meadows, a cult favorite that blended anthropomorphic humor with pin-up style art. His distinctive blend of technical skill and playful sensuality has since earned him widespread recognition in both mainstream and independent comics. He has worked with major publishers such as Marvel, DC, and Image Comics, contributing to titles like Shanna the She-Devil, Savage Wolverine, Mighty Avengers, and Wonder Woman. Cho has received multiple awards, including the National Cartoonists Society’s Award for Comic Book Illustration and the Charles M. Schulz Award for Excellence in College Cartooning.
