This hardcover book is a total gem—beautifully bound, rich in vibrant illustrations, and filled with behind-the-scenes content that brings even more life to the game’s vintage 1930s animation style. What I loved most is how easy it is to get lost in the artistry.

The commentary is insightful without being overwhelming, and the layout is clean, making it perfect for both casual browsing and deep dives into concept sketches and character design. The quality is top-notch for the price point—thick pages, high-resolution art, and attention to detail throughout. If you’re thinking about gifting this or adding it to your coffee table or collector’s shelf, do it. It’s one of those purchases you’ll be proud to show off.

    My oldest grandson is 9 years old and is absolutely fascinated with Cuphead. He plays the video game, he draws pictures of him everywhere, and is fascinated with the animation of Cuphead.

    So when he found this book, he put it at the top of his Santa list. I asked his mother if we, his grandparents, could get it for him. And as I’m looking at the book, which is beautiful, I can begin to understand his fascination for Cuphead.

    This beautiful coffee table book tells the story of how, through artwork, Cuphead was created through the vintage look and feel of the 1930s. Each frame is hand drawn and shows the early concepts, production work, and all of the ideas that went into creating Cuphead.

    It’s a wonderful video game complete with Cuphead and Mugman. It is clean and stylish and neither me, nor his parents, have any problem with his fascination for the characters, the games, and now the history and the artwork of Cuphead.

    The book may be a little advanced for a 9 year old, but this is a family who reads voraciously. Highly educated and well rounded. He will grow with this book and who knows what dreams will become a career or a lifetime love of vintage art. There’s no doubt that this will be his favorite gift. He talks about this book constantly and understands that “it is very expensive and important “.

    I see that there are additional books on his favorite video game. I’m loving nothing more than to begin his collection of vintage art and video drawing with his favorite characters.

    This cuphead book is awesome, I wasn't expecting the weight of the book really well made and beautiful details my grandson loved it as hes such a artist!!
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2022
    As an aspiring artist who was always fond of 30’s-style character design and animation, Cuphead’s oeuvre struck at the core of my artistic sensibilities the moment I saw the first trailer. Cut to the game’s release and the entire experience supercharged my ion for animation and character design. This book has only prolonged that level of enchantment.

    The book is perfect. Better than I could have hoped, and as much of a love letter to the game as the cartoons that inspired it. Filled with concept art for each character, the creators go into the VERY specific inspirations for every single denizen of the Inkwell Isles, and how each character came to be. They make a point to credit their specific artists whenever possible, and the writing is as cheeky and a joy to read.

    In addition to character design, they also go in-depth on the beautiful background painting and modeling that adds so much to the feel of the game. They even go into the typography selection and the thought processes behind it. This book is JAM-PACKED with more content than you can imagine.

    Now for the book itself: very high quality, sturdy hardcover with the pages printed on a gorgeous paper-stock. While I understand the modern inclination to purchase books in digital form, (which according to the lower ratings here apparently has some issues), you really lose something in a “non-physical” art book.

    At the moment of this review, this lovely addition to anyone’s collection is a whopping 40% off (around $21 US). I honestly feel like I got away with murder for how little I paid for this vs. the quality I received.

    If you’re on the fence, get the heck off of said fence and do yourself the favor of purchasing this inspiring ode to one of the most ambitious games ever created.

    I can't imagine how the book could be better. Excellent print and paper quality. A wealth of images and concept art going back to the earliest days of what was to become Cuphead. Great insight into the reasoning and methodology that went into what seems to be every aspect of the game. I couldn't recommend it more highly to Cuphead fans. Also I was very glad to see that material from the, as of now, DLC was also included.

    Para empezar, hay dos tipos de consumidores de libros de arte; los que se lo leen enteramente y los que ven sólo los dibujos. Ambos respetables. Bueno, si eres el primer caso, tendrás que saber inglés, si no es probable que no entiendas ni la mitad. Para los segundos, ¡adelante! Ya podéis comprarlo.

    Dejando el idioma a un lado, este libro de arte me parece de los más dedicados y completos que tengo de mi colección. Se hace hincapié en muchos aspectos, como si de un reportaje se tratara. A nivel visual y de estructura está correctamente organizado para que sea llevadera su lectura, tan ornamentado con dibujos y bocetos.

    Sin duda merece la pena el dinero gastado, el libro es muy robusto y da sensación de calidad, además que por ese mismo precio o superior encontramos otros muchos libros de arte mucho más pobres, dedicados en exclusiva a las imágenes y bocetos (no se me malinterprete, no dejan de ser artbooks y son para eso, pero me gusta que tengan pequeñas explicaciones tales como por qué se decantaron por un diseño, en qué se inspiraron para este otro, etc.)

    Recomendado.
