Mike Collins moved to Wales in 1985 after an abortive stab at a career in the law, in London. Despite his law degree and experience working in law courts Mike decided that he enjoyed the fiction-based life of comic book characters over the fiction-based statements of clients. He has since illustrated for such comic book publishers as DC and Marvel among others and for such popular characters as Superman, Spiderman, and Dr. Who. As well as comics, Mike is a storyboard artist for children's TV shows, primarily the BAFTA-winning Hana's Helpline, and live-action film. He also storyboarded on the film Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie and on the television shows Doctor Who, The Witcher, and Sex Education. Mike was married to Karen Collins and they have three daughters, Bethan, Rebecca, and Rhiannon, and a granddaughter, Annie. He lives in Cardiff in the United Kingdom.
