Hampton’s debut took place in The Saga of the Swamp Thing for DC Comics. Around the same time he collaborated with Marvel Comics on Moon Knight and with Pacific on Alien Worlds. In 1985, he worked on the Greylore limited series for Sirius Comics. He then worked for Eclipse Comics on the titles Alien Encounters, Airboy, and Total Eclipse. Later, he adapted a story by Count Alexis Tolstoy entitled Verdilak for NBM, based on a script by Warren Kneece. In 2006, Hampton worked on the series Sight Unseen for Image Comics.

With DC Comics, Hampton forged some of his greatest works. Among the most outstanding, the graphic novel Viking Glory. Hampton worked on two plot arcs of the Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight series. He also worked on Batman: Castle of Bat. In 1998, he drew the title The Batman Adventures: The Lost Years, where he adopted the aesthetics of the television show Batman: The Animated Series.
