He created the characters Assassin-8 and Thunderclap for Marvel UK.

Collins currently does illustrations and comic strips for the Doctor Who Magazine, has illustrated two graphic novels about Daleks, has contributed art to the Harry Potter trading card game, and wrote and designed the first ever Welsh language graphic novel. He lives in Cardiff with his wife and three daughters. His grandfather was awarded a Military Medal in World War One.
