Hello, my name is Nick Katradis.  My website consists of my private collection of Original Comic Art, mostly from the 1960s to mid 1970s!; I also own various Oil Paintings, Comic Strips, and thousands of Rare Golden Age, Silver Age & Bronze Age comics. 

Most of the items in my collection are not for sale but I do have For Sale sections for art, comics, & statues, along with prices for each - you can browse through all items for sale using the drop-down menue! 

Also, if there is a piece of art in my private collection that you would like to purchase, please send me an email with the price you had in mind and I would certainly consider any fair offer.

I recently undertook a mission, with the help of the Grand Comic-Book Database, of  documenting the first comic books I ever read off the newsstand from each DC & Marvel comic title! 

I started reading comics in the summer of 1972 as an 11 year old! I now have confirmed that the first DC comic books that I have read were dated "July, 1972" and the first Marvel comics that I have read were dated "August, 1972".   Actually, one Marvel 1st read comic was dated "July, 1972"; it was Amazing Adventures #13. 

Please note that the actual date each comic hit the newsstand may have been earlier than these dates.  Also, I did not start reading all titles on the newsstand all at once - I started to purchase some titles a few months later from these respective dates; and I documented them.

As a result of these terribly important findings (to me), I have listed a detailed compillation of the first comic book I ever read from each DC & Marvel title I have ever purchased, and they are as follows:
