FRANK CHO BIOGRAPHY
Frank Cho was born in Seoul, South Korea, on December 2, 1971. At the age of six, he and his family immigrated to the United States. Cho never had any formal training in art, and taught himself to write and draw by reading art books and comics.
At the University of Maryland, he created the award winning college strip, University 2 (University Squared), which ran in the campus newspaper, The Diamondback, from 1993 – 1995. Upon graduating from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor degree in Nursing, he signed with Creators Syndicate Inc.
Liberty Meadows was launched on March 31, 1997 and distributed worldwide by Creators Syndicate. From day one, Liberty Meadows was a critical success, hailed for it’s hilarious writing and superb art. Unfortunately after years of censorship and editorial compromises, Frank Cho decided to leave Creators Syndicate Inc. In an unprecedented move in comics history, Cho voluntarily discontinued the newspaper strip in favor of comic book distribution only. In 2002, Cho moved the hugely successful Liberty Meadows comic to Image Comics.
Impressed by Liberty Meadows writing and art, Frank Cho was recruited by Axel Alonso, Editor-in-Chief at Marvel Entertainment in 2003. Cho has worked on many top tiered books at Marvel, including Spider-man, Mighty Avengers, Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men, Shanna the She-Devil and Savage Wolverine.
In his spare time, Frank Cho works on movies, book illustrations and oil paintings for various art gallery shows. He also works on his creator-owned projects such as Guns & Dinos, Zombie King, Skyborne, and the upcoming World of Payne with famed novelist Tom Sniegoski.
Frank Cho has won many awards including: the prestigious Emmy Award, the National Cartoonist Society’s Awards for Best Comic Book and Book Illustration, the Eagle Award, the Charles M. Schulz Award for Excellence in Cartooning, Scripps-Howard Award for Best College Cartoonist, College Media Association for Cartooning, Spain’s International Haxtur Award for Best Artist and Germany’s highest award, Max & Moritz Medal, for Best International Comic Strip. He was also nominated for the coveted Harvey and Eisner Awards.
Frank Cho is currently resides in Hanover, Maryland, with his wife, Mara, and their dog, Lucy.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
