Happy Trails / Belly Of The Beast

Catching up with some comedic horror and horrific comedy, here's our strip from Issue 12 of Scream Magazine, with art by the very talented "Cadaverous" Curt Sibling...

.. and here's our strip from Issue 11, with art once again by "Crepuscular" Curt Sibling!

So basically, if you're going to be stalked by maniacs always ensure it's by more than one.

Scream Bloody Goreso Even Moreso ...

Issue 12 of  SCREAM Magazine is out now,  featuring a comic strip by me and the Cranium Crushin' Curt Sibling. Here's a wee sneaky peek...

I'm aiming to look just like this guy in a few years from now.

Scream is the UK's number one Horror Entertainment magazine and has a slew of cool interviews and features, and is available online and in all good magazine stores and undead-beseiged farmhouses now!

Forever Foes!

Everyone seems to be getting in on the children's book market these days... Madonna, Katie Price, Idi Amin and many more. And just as they stretched their respective talents beyond pop music, brutal repression and having big tits, I have done the same and launched my own line of children's novels!

Proudly brought to you by Harry Potter publishers Bloomsbury, FOREVER FOES! is available in all good bookshops including Waterstone's as seen below. FOREVER FOES! follows the adventures of a series of different villainous adventurers "...as they run the gamut of negative human experience, smashing and fucking everything in their path!". Wowee!

A close up of those covers so your six to twelve-year old knows what to look for on Amazon, with each character brought to life by a different talented artist from the Scottish comics underground.

 Volume I: Fear, Emptiness, Despair.

 Volume II: To Philosophise With A Hammer

Volume III: Bastards of Ragnarok

Available now in national bookstores!:

A good look at the blurb, to reel in those enthusiatic young minds:

And here are the central characters, soon to be appearing on lunchboxes, stationery and backpacks and that kind of stuff:

Lust Ghost - by Spanky

Spewnicorn - by Robert Thomson

 Gaseous Bastard - by Rob Miller

Meat Nun - by Paul McCann

Plague Chef - by James Corcoran

The Wicker Gran - by Alex Ronald

 

Prison Troll - by Curt Sibling

 

 Gory Tory - by Dave Alexander

Space Racist - by Iain Laurie

Thanks to each of these very skilled gentlemen for lending their talents and tolerating the excruciating Bloomsbury editorial process.


BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

In keeping with the fine tradition of cynical cash-ins and exhaustive merchandising, there's also the FOREVER FOES collectable card game FOE TRUMPS! Simply click to embiggen, print, snip, glue then destroy your opponents without mercy! Check out these cool kids engaged in a deadly match.

 Jim "Destroyer" Devlin is furious as Manglin' Paul McCann smites him with a killer play!

Expand your game - more Foe Trumps to follow! Gotta Catch 'Em All!

 
Gee willikers, sir! My favourite Foe has gotta be...

Your Heart's Desire...

Our strip from Issue 10 of Scream Magazine, with art by the very talented "Stabbin'" Curt Sibling.

Everyone likes Twilight.

Scream Bloody Gore Once More!

Issue 11 of  SCREAM Magazine is out now,  featuring a comic strip by me and "Stabbin" Curt Sibling. Here's a wee sneaky peek:

Scream is the UK's number one Horror Entertainment magazine, available online and in all good magazine stores and fetid catacombs now!

Scary stuff!

Haunted Bowels!

Prepare to be haunted....!

I'm very pleased to say that after some years now of producing comics, I've finally printed my first collected volume - Haunted Bowels: Craig Collins Collected Comics Volume 1.

 Cover art by Iain Laurie

A collection of small press comedy comics - gruesome gags and oddball humour, surreal comedy and morbid light entertainment. Omniscient beings, strange cowboys, troubled poets and unruly spectres and much more await within...!

28 A5 black and white pages with colour cover. Some adult humour. Chocked to the gills with comics and featuring art by:

Dave Alexander, James Corcoran, Iain Laurie, Paul McCann, Rob Miller, Nulsh, Curt Sibling, Robert Thomson and Jacek Zabawa.

And you can buy it here in my Big Cartel for a mere £3 plus postage.

Needless to say it's been a huge pleasure collaborating with these exceptionally talented gentlemen, without whom I wouldn't have made any comics at all. Thanks guys, my hat's off to you! Thanks also to Stuart Gould of UK Comics, printer extraordinaire and all-round good guy.

Scream Bloody Gore!

Some news for horror fiends and flesh-eating maniacs!

It's with considerable pleasure that I tell you that myself and the cadaverous Curt Sibling have a strip featured in SCREAM, the UK's number one Horror Entertainment magazine. In fact, all being well it looks like we will be their comic making guys for the forseeable future. Way to go to jinx yourself, Craig. Here's a wee sneaky peek!

 Issue 10 of SCREAM is available in all good magazine stores on March 22nd 2012.

Needless to say it's an honour to have our work featured in Scream, and a special thanks goes to Phillip Buchan for recommending me to the Editor to take up the torch as he moves elsewhere. Cheers Bucky!

Zorgo Returns!

After a long hiatus spent hiding in a nebula... Omniscient Zorgo returns! And this time with the comedic strong arm talents of artist Curt Sibling!

And while we're here, let's bust out that 80's Saturday Morning Cartoon Theme Tune again!

Omniscient Zorgo Theme Tune - CCollins / GLees by CraigCollins

And while we're burning state fairs to the ground... what of that theme tune and its mysterious genesis? Little is known beyond it being the result of a one-off collaboration with weepy noisenik LAN Formatique, but here we can see a rare and truly Kvlt glimpse of the recording session, retrieved from the very bowels of the archives!

Fenriz and Nocturno Culto at work in the world famous Livingstone Lounge Recording Studios, Spring 2008.

Franchise Goblin!

The power behind franchise fever and Hollywood movie machinery revealed! The dialogue here is a bit small so I'm afraid you must force yourself to embiggen.

This is one from way back when by myself and raging comics murk-moster Curt Sibling which found its way into a Khaki Shorts a while back.

See more collaborations between me and Curt here!

George Lucas 2040

In approximately thirty years George Lucas will be racked with dementia... The dialogue is a little bit little so click to embiggen to AT-AT size.

This is actually the first bit of collaboration between myself and the super-industrious Curt Sibling, 
making it a some 4 years old and festooned with cobwebs.

(See all work by me and Curt Sibling here)

The Illogical Adventures of OCTOSPOCK!

It took a fair bit of doing, but after some very tense negotiations I managed to convince the ghost of Gene Roddenberry to allow this to be published. Click the image to beam up the embiggened version!

A 12 issue maxi-series starting this Autum. Covers by Curt Sibling, interior art by Lazlo Potemkin. 

Fear not, loyal Star Trek fans, it's not slash fiction. Though it is in places outrageously pornographic.

The Amazing Cider Man

Traveling down the well-worn trail of superhero parody with The Amazing Cider Man, a booze-addled tramp who believes he is Peter Parker.

Pencils by Curt Sibling, inks by Iain Laurie. This was featured in Wasted #3 but the Scottish dialogue was stripped out to broaden the appeal so here it is in the original braw Scots.

Super observant Edinburgh residents might notice this roughly takes place on the North and South Bridges...

Abu Hamza vs. Gregor Samsa

Here's the cover of my upcoming six issue series "Abu Hamza vs. Gregor Samsa".

Religious extremism and existential anguish - it's two great tastes that taste great together! Superb cover art by Curt Sibling, with interior art by Lazlo Potemkin.
