Cho was born in South Korea, but immigrated to Canada at the age of 6. [1] He has said "In some ways I learned to read English by reading comic books. And of course, I copied all the drawings." [2]
Cho's artwork appears in a number of different genres. He has painted book covers for Random House/Knopf [1] and Penguin Books. [3] His cover for White Noise has been called a "remarkable" design that "masterfully captures" [3] aspects of the novel. He is the creator of the webcomic Papercut, [4] has done illustrations for The New York Times Book Review , and has created comics work for Taddle Creek literary magazine. [1]
His work retains classic comic book aspects and "evokes the pop art of Roy Lichtenstein and aesthetics of Silver and Bronze age superhero comics in equal measure." [3] He has provided cover art for several DC Comics reprint collections [5] and drew the 1940s variant cover for Action Comics #1000 (June 2018). [6]
On September 2, 2014, Cho published his first graphic novel, Shoplifter. [7] Each illustration is done in two-colors. He states that he likes two-tone work because it allows him to focus on the mood and atmosphere. [8] To paint the tones, he used colored inks, and the rest was done with brushes, pens, and brush pens. [9]
