About the Contributors
Jim Whalley is a Post-doctoral researcher at De Montfort University, UK. He has lectured at multiple universities in the UK, including the University of Salford, Edge Hill University, York St. John University and the University of East Anglia. Whalley is the author of Saturday Night Live, Hollywood Comedy and American Culture: From Chevy Chase to Tina Fey (2010).
He went to UEA with the intention of writing daft stories but got sidetracked into student journalism and academia. He ended up with PhD in Film Studies and got back to writing stories in his spare time. He eventually quit academia because the stories were more fun, a move he justified by also renovating a house. He now lives in that house in Yorkshire with his wife and two children, Fletch and Charlie.
Stephen Collins is an illustrator and cartoonist based in Hertfordshire, UK. His work has appeared in many publications worldwide, and he has a weekly comic in The Guardian Weekend magazine. In 2013 Jonathan Cape published his debut graphic novel The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil, which was shortlisted for the Waterstones Book Of The Year award and an Eisner Award. His collection of strips Some Comics was published by Jonathan Cape in October 2014. He is currently working on his second graphic novel, which will be published by Jonathan Cape in 2018.
