Mike Collins

Celebrating 40 years working in comics, Mike has drawn pretty much every major character at the big companies: X-Men, Batman, JLA, Spider-Man, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Judge Dredd, Slaine and Rogue Trooper amongst them.

Best known for drawing Doctor Who, since the show's triumphant return twenty years back, for Doctor Who Magazine, IDW, Titan and two Dalek graphic novels for BBC Books, as well as writing and drawing Doctor Who online games for Tiny Rebel.

Also known as one of the original Transformers artists, he's also drawn two well regarded and successful original graphic novels: an adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and the docudrama about the first moon landing, Apollo. Since 2004, he's illustrated many graphic novels for the Norwegian market featuring Gunnar Staalesen's noir hero, Varg Veum.

Last year, he was artist on the Mike Batt/David Quantick La Croix Noire comic, tied into a concept album.

In recent times, he's worked on several How To Draw books and part-works: enjoyed a one hundred-issue run on How To Draw Marvel magazine; three volumes of How To Draw Fortnite; How To Draw Five Nights at Freddies; and he currently illustrates the D&D Adventurer partwork magazine.

In animation, he's worked on shows as diverse as Warhammer 40k and Horrid Henry, and many Welsh language pre-school shows.

In TV, he works as a storyboard artist on many genre shows: Doctor Who, Fool Me Once, His Dark Materials, The Famous FiveGood Omens, The Witcher, The Midwich Cuckoos, The Lazarus Project and many more with less genre cred (Silent Witness, Grace, and Industry, to name but three).
