Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted June 4, 2015 Showmasters Admin Share Posted June 4, 2015 Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Mike Collins Attending: Saturday and Sunday Artist: Doctor Who; 2000 AD; Darkstars ACROSS a career that dates back to 1983, Mike Collins has pretty much drawn all the major superheroes for DC as well as quite a few for Marvel. The co-creator of Gambit (introduced in 1990’s Uncanny X-Men #266) made his professional debut illustrating a four-pager written by the soon-to-be-a-comicbook legend Alan Moore published by Marvel UK in The Daredevils #8. Soon in demand as both a penciller and an inker, Collins contributed to various other titles – notably Transformers – for the House of Ideas’ British arm before adding 2000 AD to his growing CV. His first US work was for Eclipse where he drew strips for issues of Laser Eraser and Pressbutton in 1986. The following year he was hired by DC to draw New Teen Titans Annual #3, the first of a number of one-off assignments he fulfilled alongside his continuing work for various British comics, among them Doctor Who Magazine, a title with which he has remained closely associated ever since. In 1992 Collins launched Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, writing and drawing all 12 of its issues before moving on to pencil all but one of the final 21 issues of another DC comic, Darkstars. Come early 1998, the artist was involved with two new series: Star Trek: Untold Voyages (aborted after just five issues) and Babylon 5: In Valen’s Name, a three-parter on which he collaborated with J Michael Straczynski, creator of the television series. While much of his focus since the millennium has been outside the comics field, Collins – who has recently produced storyboards for BBC-TV’s Doctor Who series – continues to contribute to Doctor Who and 2000 AD as well as to its companion title, Judge Dredd Megazine.

Queen_Sindel Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 The comic guests are usually happy to sign a comic for free - if you show up with let's say 100 comics the situation may look different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
