Frank Cho will introduce Jungle Queen, a new original comic property, in his Kickstarter-financed art book Drawing Beautiful Women: The Frank Cho Method this fall, he announced on his blog.
 
Cho (Liberty Meadows) raised $152,854 from 2,772 backers ($55.14/backer average) back in December and January to publish the step-by-step art guide.  The 112-page hardcover and paperback editions will be available to the trade in October at $29.95/$19.95 respectively.  Mark Schultz (Xenozoic Tales) will write the introduction.
 
The Jungle Queen will appear as a five-page story in the "Storytelling" chapter of Drawing Beautiful Women: The Frank Cho Method.  The short introductory story will be completely silent, told "...through body language and action,” Cho said.  "It was a story-telling challenge worth doing."
 
Cho also promised a full stand-alone Jungle Queen graphic novel or mini-series in the near future.
