General info :
Clive Hugh Austin Collins (6 February 1942 in Weston-super-Mare, England – died 21 April 2022, UK (aged 80)) was a British cartoonist and illustrator, who contributed drawings to many publications including The Oldie, Playboy, Punch, Reader's Digest, The Sun (where he also doubled as the racing tipster 'Lucky Jim'), and The Daily Mail.

A veteran international freelancer, he had a 38 year association with Punch Magazine beginning in 1964. The next decade, he was a frequent Playboy contributor.
His longest-running comic series was 'Lucky Jim' (1972-1982), which ran in the Sun.

He was the secretary of the British Cartoonists' Association and the Life Vice-President of The Cartoonists' Club of Great Britain.
In 2012, he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire. He was awarded the Cartoonist of the Year award by the Cartoonist Club of Great Britain in 1984, 1985 and 1987.
In 1985, Collins was named The Cartoonist of the Year at The International Pavilion of Humor of Montreal, Canada, whose director was Robert LaPalme.

Collins was the older brother of musician Phil Collins (formerly a member of the band Genesis and not to be confused with Canadian cartoonist Phil Collins), and the uncle of actresses Lily Collins and Joely Collins and musicians Simon Collins and Nic Collins.

In addition to newspaper, magazine and book illustration, Clive drew a 12 page "autobiography" cartoon booklet insert for his brother Phil Collins' first solo single 'In The Air Tonight' (Virgin, 1981).

He died on 21 April 2022 after a long illness, at the age of 80.
