Scott Hampton (born April 10, 1959) is an American comic book artist known for his painted artwork. He is the brother of fellow comics-creator Bo Hampton. [1]
Scott Hampton was born in 1959 in High Point, North Carolina.[ citation needed ]
Hampton began his career following in the footsteps of brother and fellow comic book creator Bo Hampton. Both Scott and Bo studied under Will Eisner in 1976. [1] Scott's first professional comics work was the three-page story "Victims" published in Warren Publishing's Vampirella #101 in 1981. Scott's work on Silverheels from Pacific Comics in 1983 is regarded as the first continuing painted comic (of U.S. origin).
Working as a freelance comic book artist, Hampton has illustrated such iconic properties as Batman, Sandman, Black Widow, Hellraiser, and Star Trek in addition to work on his creator-owned projects such as The Upturned Stone.
His works include Spookhouse , released in 2004 by IDW Publishing, in which he adapted his favorite ghost stories into sequential form, and Batman: Gotham County Line from DC Comics in 2005. Hampton worked on the creator-owned series Simon Dark with writer Steve Niles for DC Comics.
Hampton has illustrated cards for the Magic: The Gathering collectible card game.
"The Upturned Stone" was optioned mid-2005 for film production by David Foster Productions, but the studio lost the option and the story was recently optioned by another producer. Scott is also pursuing a passion outside of comics: filmmaking. He completed his first short independent film, The Tontine, in April 2006. It's his loose adaptation of a 21-page comic piece that he worked on and appeared by the same name in the Hellraiser comic series. The 29-minute film was shot at the same cabin used in Eli Roth's Cabin Fever . The complete short can be found on IMDb as well as versions of it available to view on Myspace (partial), Google Video (full), and YouTube (split into 3 parts).
Hampton is currently adapting Gregory Maguire's Wicked into a graphic novel, with the first volume scheduled to be published in March 2025. [2]
Hampton lives with his wife Letitia in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.[ citation needed ]
