David Collier (born January 24, 1963)〔 is a Canadian alternative cartoonist best known for his fact-based "comic strip essays." == Biography == As a child, Collier was introduced to the work of Robert Crumb, whose work has been a significant influence. (Collier's cross-hatching style is particularly reminiscent of Crumb's work.)〔 Before breaking into comics, Collier served in the Canadian Army, where (among other activities) he drew comic strips for the army newspapers.〔 His Army training also introduced him to long-distance running and the biathlon, in which he has competed nationally.〔 His first comic strip was published in 1986 in the R. Crumb-edited magazine ''Weirdo'', and his work has been published in numerous other comics anthologies, including ''Duplex Planet Illustrated'', ''Drawn and Quarterly'', ''The Comics Journal'', and ''Zero Zero''. Most of the material from his anthology submissions was collected in ''Just the Facts: A Decade of Comic Essays''. Since 1990, Collier has done comics and illustrations for Canadian newspapers such as ''The Globe and Mail'' and the ''Saskatoon StarPhoenix''. He has illustrated stories for Harvey Pekar's ''American Splendor'', most notably the three-issue ''American Splendor: Unsung Hero.'' Fantagraphics published four issues of the aptly titled series ''Collier's'' in the 1990s. Much of this material was reprinted in ''Portraits from Life''. Drawn and Quarterly later published volume two of ''Collier's'', lasting two issues. Collier's ''Surviving Saskatoon'' documents the true story of David Milgaard, a man who spent over 20 years in prison after he was wrongfully accused of the brutal rape and murder of a nurse in 1969. Collier featured in a 2013 episode of CBC Radio program Wiretap, describing his experiences rejoining the army at 41, also the subject of his book ''Chimo''.〔(WireTap: Tough Guys )〕 Collier lives with his wife, Ontario artist Jennifer Hambleton, and son James (born in 1999), in Hamilton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Collier (cartoonist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
