Kevin S. Collier

Writer and illustrator Kevin Scott Collier was born April 27, 1957 in Muskegon, Michigan. He began creating his own comic books at age 9 and by age 13 was producing a line of comic books selling copies to neighborhood friends. In the fall of 1976 Collier met Jeff Cooke and William Shady at Muskegon Community College and the trio formed Full Circle Comix, releasing their first issue, “Amazing Stories” #1 that December. Full Circle Comix published over 50 comic books from 1976 to 1984, and briefly came back to publish in 2004, releasing several new issues. Collier was known primarily for his characters Capt. Head and The Human Waste for Full Circle Comix. After leaving that group, Collier published a series of small press comix newsletters under titles such as Fan Scene, Fandom Times, Comixtalk and Small Press Comix Observer until the late 1980s. Collier began writing and illustrating children's books in 2004 and since has appeared in over 120 titles. Collier began an interest in Christian Children's television in 2008 and in 2013 launched the streaming TV network the Christ Clubhouse Channel with his wife Kristen. Collier creates, writes and illustrates virtually all of the content that appears on the on-demand channel. Another streaming TV channel for kids, Ruff Sketches TV, was launched the end of summer 2013. Collier has  taught art classes to Ottawa County, Michigan area children for 32 years and has been a graphic artist and columnist for the daily newspaper in Grand Haven, Michigan, for just as many years.
