Nikolas Stefadouros

Steph (or Nikolas Stefadouros) was born in beautiful Athens in 1980. After a truly idyllic childhood, he decided to make his first questionable choices and… study civil engineering at the National Technical University of Athens. Fortunately, his naïve plan to build bridges collapsed very quickly, and he discovered his true passion in comics and illustration. Thanks to his teacher and mentor Nikos Koutsis and Vakalo, the world of panels and speech bubbles soon became his new home and universe. Since 2012, he has been living creatively—and professionally—as a comic artist and illustrator. He has collaborated with a multitude of publishers, companies, and artists, while also spreading the “virus” of the ninth art to younger generations as a comics teacher, thereby corrupting small innocent souls.
