It's been several days since Bleeding Cool last published an article about Frank Cho, which makes our sponsors very nervous. Frank Cho articles are the lifeblood of Bleeding Cool, the glue that holds this whole thing together, and wavering for even a moment from our commitment to bring you all the latest pointless gossip and trolling sketch covers from Cho's Facebook page could spell disaster for the site. Luckily, your pal Jude Terror is here to save the day.

We know that Frank Cho has received numerous honors for his work, including a recent induction into the Lucca Comic and Games Festival Hall of Fame and those Ignatz awards he nominated himself for in 1999. But the highest honor may be from the Italian comic con's shipping and handling department, in the way they sent back the work that he exhibited at the show (and no, it wasn't "inside a discreet brown paper bag"):

Wow! That's some great company! Are they trying to tell us that Frank Cho is the modern version of Italian Renaissance painters like Da Vinci and Caravaggio?!

Well, okay, maybe we can see a little resemblance. Plus, there's always this blank sketch variant recently unearthed from one of Da Vinci's secret notebooks:

Okay, you know what? We were skeptical at first, but now we see exactly where they're coming from.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
