Summary, as given by two women I know who read this in the dead-trees-

A Frank Cho painting sold for $10,000 at an auction at Baltimore's
Comic-Con. And there wasn't even nudity or obvious big ta-tas
involved.

=v= Well, the women Brooke draws at least have plausible
anatomy, but they lack chins. Cho can draw chins.

Brooke wins on composition and body language of the subjects (he can say
more with stance and posture in one panel than Cho can say in a whole
strip), and on boob sizes that approach reality. Cho wins on realistic
faces. If they were to combine their skills, the results could be
outstanding. Let Brooke do the drafts of the bodies, and the astounding
(at times) background art, and let Cho do the heads and faces.

I gotta disagree. Cho does an outstanding job with bodies. The
Shanna comic book series clearly showed that.
And Cho also does fabulous background art. Some of his Sunday just-
got-a-new-set-of-pens-lets-break-them-in art is fabulous. And of
course his comic book work is pretty spectacular as well.
I don't think that I could pick one as being objectively better
artist. I have a personal preference for Frank Cho's work primarily
because I have seen a broader range of high quality art from him.
All I know of Brooke's work is from 9CWL and Pib. While that work is
excellent, it is a limited range. Perhaps that is ignorance on my
part.

Cho is an terrific draftsmen and artist whose work is best suited for
comic books and graphic novels, especially when someone is writing the
scripts and the deadlines aren't as tight.
McEldowney's wonderful style, though is much better suited for the
daily grind of comic strips, although he goes into more detail in
"Pibgorn"- I'm assuming this is facilitated by a computer drawing
tablet.

He's done so since at least 1998:
