Frank Hampson is arguably a name that for many will not truly come to mind when people talk of great British artists. It is to his most enduring creations that many though will respond with nostalgia, the passion of a memory, and the dream of inspiration that beset their youth; the artist will often fade as time moves on, but the creation, the myth, the monster will endure and take on life long after the artist leaves the pencils and the papers to others to draw upon.
