Timeline

Katherine Shannon Collins is a Canadian-born cartoonist, writer, media personality, stage performer, and composer.

1947

Katherine Collins (formerly Arnold Alexander Saba, Jr.) was born in Vancouver, British Columbia on July 6, 1947.

Her name comes from her maternal great-grandmother, Mary Adda "Dolly" Collins, a painter, writer, and illustrator herself.

Collins’s mother was also a cartoonist and comics collector and instilled in her from a young age an interest in the world of comics.

1950

Her earliest influences include Carl Barks and Milton Caniff whose comics she collected throughout the 1950s and onward.

She started reading underground comics in the late 60s, enjoying artists such as Robert Crumb, Kim Deitch, Skip Williamson, Jay Lynch, and Trina Robbins.

Growing up in Canada, she was surrounded by and presented with works of both American and British comics culture.

Collins is known as creator of Neil the Horse.

1975

She created the newspaper comic strip Neil the Horse from 1975 to 1991.

The series ran in Canadian newspapers from 1975-1982 via the Great Lakes Publishing syndicate located in Toronto.

1983

It subsequently appeared in fifteen comic book issues from 1983–1988, published by Aardvark-Vanaheim/Renegade Press.

Collins's efforts to continue the project in print were unsuccessful.

It was optioned for film and television in cooperation with Zorro Productions, but the work did not make it to the screen.

Referring to Neil the Horse, Maaheen Ahmed wrote that Collins's work is “Rooted in the North American independent comics scene”, bringing to life “forgotten elements of comics memory (girls’ comics, childish funny animals) that are in many ways antithetical to the “grown up” image of comics that was being cultivated contemporaneously”.

In response to these assertions that Neil the Horse appears to be heavily rooted in nostalgia, Collins herself has noted that it never occurred to her that these comics were looking back at all but were rather an alternative approach to real life.

In the past few years, Collins's work has experienced a notable resurgence in popularity and recognition.

In 1983, Collins was awarded an Inkpot Award, among the ranks of other acclaimed comics artists such as Robert Crumb (1989), Howard Cruse (1989), Neil Gaiman (1991), and Art Spiegelman (1987).

1993

She transitioned, identifying publicly as a transgender woman since 1993.

It has been mentioned that Collins wrote a book on her physical and spiritual journey in transitioning to a woman, though it is likely that work was never published.

2005

In 2005, after fifteen years in San Francisco, Collins was deported under the USA PATRIOT Act for "crimes of moral turpitude."

After her return to Vancouver, Collins was diagnosed with leukemia.

2008

In 2008, she announced she was recovering.

2013

In 2013, Collins was inducted into the Joe Shuster Award Canadian Comic Book Creator Hall of Fame, and sent an acceptance video to the ceremony.

2017

In 2017, Conundrum Press republished her work in an anthology titled 'The Collected Neil the Horse,' which features all fifteen issues of the Neil the Horse comic book, along with the weekly comic strips and other significant pieces from her career.

In 2017, Collins was inducted into the "Giants of the North" hall of fame by the Doug Wright Awards for Canadian Cartooning.
