FrankRoy (born on August 29, 1958 in Motherwell, Scotland) is a politician in the United Kingdom.
FrankRoy is most remembered locally for claiming that the visit of the Irish Prime Minister to Carfin Grotto was mis-timed, coming on the same day as his visit to a Rangers - Celtic football match in Glasgow.
Roy decided to mention this, no-one - apart from some local residents - were aware of this unannounced trip to open a shrine dedicated to the memory of those who died in the Irish potato famines.
Roy's knowledge of the past, both artistic and historic were brought into play when Ace Books hired him to produce covers for their early 60's revival of the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
And speaking of history, as an inveterate collector, bookstore haunt, and student of art, Roy was the resident mentor in the history of illustration for many a young artist over the years.
Roy was chosen for four titles: The Cave Girl, Land of Terror, Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins, and Tales of Three Planets.
