Cuphead Art Book Deluxe Edition Gets First Discount on Amazon

One of the best video game art books just received a sequel. The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course was published by Dark Horse Books on November 5. Cuphead fans have three editions to choose from: a standard hardcover, Deluxe Edition hardcover, and Kindle ebook.

And for the first time since going up for preorder a few months back, the Deluxe Edition has received a discount at Amazon, dropping the price to $89. You can also get a big discount on The Art of the Cuphead Show, which chronicles the making of wonderful Netflix animated adaptation.

Just like the original Cuphead art book, this is a stunning companion that beautifully captures the intricate process of animating a game designed to look like a 1930s-era cartoon.

The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course Standard Edition

The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is a 272-page oversized hardcover focused exclusively on Cuphead’s brilliant 2022 DLC (Delicious Last Course). The book takes fans on a frame-by-frame journey through the expansion’s seven bosses and The King’s Leap challenge arena. Delicious Last Course also introduced Ms. Chalice as a playable character and numerous new NPCs who will likely be featured in this art book.

If you’ve played Cuphead, you know the level of detail on display in each of the game’s inventive boss battles. The DLC actually has as many frames of animation as the base game, despite it only comprising about 25% of the full Cuphead experience. The Art of Cuphead, which focuses on the base game, is a fascinating, must-have book for fans, so we’d expect The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course to provide a similarly insightful look inside Studio MDHR’s creative process.

Along with frame-by-frame animation of the bosses from The Delicious Last Course, the book contains early concept art as well as unused ideas.

If you haven’t checked out the art book for the base game, you can save about $20 off its list price at Amazon.
