Frank is of part-Irish ancestry, and grew up in Montpelier, Vermont with his six siblings and parents. From an early age he was drawn to comics, and he wrote a letter to Marvel Comics that eventually got published in “The Cat #3, marking the start of his career. He then moved forward, and it was at Western Publishing’s Gold Key Comics that his first work published. He received positive reviews from fellow comic book artist Neal Adams, and the two started their professional relationship. Although he worked on several creations, including “Royal Feast”, and “The Twilight Zone”, he didn’t receive any credit until he was credited as the writer of “Deliver Me From D-Day”; his net worth was on the rise.
He then joined DC to create a one-page-war-comic, but he worked on several other comics too, including “Weird War Tales”, “The Greatest Story Never Told”, and “Unknown Soldier”. After DC he joined Marvel and penciled the 17-page story “The Master Assassin of Mars, Part 3”, which was a part of “John Carter, Warlord of Mars”. His role at Marvel gradually increased, and he was working on numerous creations, including on “The Spectacular Spider-Man”, and asked from Jo Duffy a chance to work on Daredevil, at the time a low-selling comic book. In the beginning, he had a tough time to change the low sale of the comic, but with the arrival of Denny O’Neil, his luck changed, and from then on, Daredevil became one of his most successful works, making Frank the rising star in Marvel. As the comic’s sales improved, so has Frank’s net worth, but also his desire to start more on his own.
Before that happened, he worked for DC once again on “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns”, which also became a success.
It was in the early ‘90s that he launched “Sin City”, published by Dark Horse Comics, which became an immediate success; the comics were later made into two films, which Frank himself directed. His next successful venture was the comic book “300” (1999), which was also made into the film, directed by Zack Snyder in 2007.
Since the start of the ‘00s, Frank has worked on “Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again”, and its spin-offs and compilations.
Thanks to his successful career, Frank has received numerous prestigious awards, including eight Eisner Awards, and in 2015 he was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame.
Regarding his personal life, Frank was married to Lynn Varley until 2005, but there are no further details about the couple’s marriage. Lynn also served as his colorist, working with him on a variety of titles, including “Ronin” and “300”, among others.
Since their divorce, Frank is often linked with Kimberly Halliburton Cox, an actress who had a minor role in his film “The Spirit” (2008).
