Considering Studio MDHR designed Cuphead to look and sound like a 1930s-era cartoon, the 2017 breakout hit basically screamed: “Adapt me into a real animated show.” Less than two years later, Netflix announced The Cuphead Show. In 2022, just months before the long-awaited Cuphead DLC arrived, Season 1 debuted on Netflix. Two more seasons quickly followed, with all 36 episodes airing within a nine-month span. It lived up to its name, giving Cuphead and Mugman the endearing throwback cartoon they deserved. Creating The Cuphead Show was clearly a labor of love, and on September 3, Cuphead fans can get a behind-the-scenes look at how it all came together in The Art of The Cuphead Show.
Written by The Cuphead Show scribe Deeki Deke, the book takes fans on a journey detailing the process of adapting the game’s beloved art design for TV. Throughout the book, members of the team provide commentary to accompany the concept art and animatics.
Dark Horse’s art book for Studio MDHR’s game was awesome, and the early look at The Cuphead Show art book we can share with fans today has made GameSpot’s diehard Cuphead fans (it’s me) very excited to read it next month.
The Art of The Cuphead Show will be published by Dark Horse Books on September 3. The 256-page book is available in hardcover ($50) and Kindle ebook ($30) formats. Though The Cuphead Show was never officially canceled by Netflix, given how Season 3 ended and the time that’s passed since, it seems unlikely to return–unless, of course, Studio MDHR decides to make Cuphead 2.
Here’s a look at three full-page spreads from The Art of The Cuphead Show, followed by a look at the latest entry in Dark Horse’s Cuphead graphic-novel series and The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, which Dark Horse is publishing on November 5.
