December 2, 1971 - Frank Cho - Is a Korean-Americancomic strip and comic book creator, writer, and illustrator, best known for his series Liberty Meadows. Cho was raised inBeltsville, Maryland hint, hint. Cho received no formal training as an artist. He got his start writing and drawing a cartoon strip called University2 for The Diamondback, the student newspaper at the University of Maryland, College Park. After graduation, Cho adapted elements of this work for use in a professionally syndicated strip, Liberty Meadows. Cho signed a fifteen-year contract with Creators Syndicate, which he later realized was unusually long and, perhaps jokingly, blamed on having a bad lawyer. Growing tired of newspaper censorship, Cho severed his contract with Creators Syndicate, and ultimately converted Liberty Meadows to a monthly publication. He works with one assistant named Mara Rose. She consults with convention comic fans and has started recoloring Liberty Meadows Sunday strips.
Cho has also drawn a wide variety of other professional material, including a new version of Shanna the She-Devil in 2005 for Marvel Comics. His Shanna series was originally meant to feature "mature" artwork including nude drawings of the heroine, but Marvel later decided to have Cho censor his already completed pages for the first five issues, and the 7-issue series did not feature nudity. However, Marvel plans to release in 2008 a hardcover collection, which will contain the uncensored artwork. Frank Cho penciled issues 14 and 15 of The New Avengers for Marvel comics. These issues include trademark Cho-isms; the character of Wolverine is depicted wearing a t-shirt that bears the logo "Beltsville", and many Liberty Meadows characters make cameo appearances. His artistic style is generally detailed and realistic, but he frequently makes use of absurd or anachronistic elements in his work, such as dinosaurs, pin-up girls, and Pogo-style anthropomorphic animals. He also enjoys breaking the fourth wall, frequently inserting himself into his work in the guise of a talking chimpanzee, and on several occasions he has drawn strips that feature his characters interacting with other popular syndicated features (for example, a character stuck in a pipe being ejected into a nearby panel apparently taken from Blondie). The Liberty Meadows denizens have found also themselves sharing their strip with Calvin and Hobbes, Li'l Abner, Hägar the Horrible, Dilbert and Cathy, among others. He was the current artist on Marvel Comics' flagship Mighty Avengerswith writer Brian Bendis, though he left the book with issue #6. He's also plotter and cover artist of Dynamite Entertainment's Jungle Girl. Cho was born in Seoul, Korea but raised in Beltsville, Maryland.
