Cuphead Delicious Last Course Art Book Has Never-Before-Seen Content, Limited Edition Up For Preorder

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 you can find in The Delicious Last Course, this book contains early concept art as well as unused ideas.

With Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, you’ll get The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course for the lowest price offered between the time you order and release. If you haven’t checked out the art book for the base game, you can save about $20 off its list price at Amazon.

For the extremely enthusiastic Cuphead fans (me), Dark Horse is releasing a limited edition version of the book. The Deluxe Edition comes with a mint-green foil slipcase, a foldout portfolio case containing a trio of acetate cells, and an attached ribbon bookmark.

This limited-edition set matches the Deluxe Edition for the aforementioned Art of Cuphead book. Fair warning: The Art of Cuphead Deluxe Edition has only been available to purchase from third-party sellers for years at this point–it truly was “limited.” As such, if you’re interested in the fancy version of the new book, we’d recommend preordering The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course Deluxe Edition as soon as possible.

It’s currently listed for $95 (was $100) at Amazon. It’s worth noting that the The Art of Cuphead Deluxe Edition received fairly substantial discounts leading up to its release, so locking in your preorder now will allow you to take advantage of any future discounts before October 22. You won’t be charged for your preorder until the book ships.

The Art of The Cuphead Show offers an in-depth look at the creation of Netflix’s awesome animated series that ran for three seasons. The 256-page book includes exclusive production art, character designs, animatics, and commentary from the writers and designers responsible for adapting Studio MDHR’s cartoon-inspired game into an actual cartoon.

The Art of The Cuphead show releases September 3 and is available to preorder for $50.
