He is the creator of the award winning fantasy series “The Dragonphoenix Chronicles”. The first 14 issues were published from 2005 to 2009 and the were collected in an Omnibus volume in 2014. The series continues, up to this day, with stories of various characters venturing throughout the mythical lands of Elebros.

His greatest cinematic project so far is the award winning independent fantasy feature film “The Dragonphoenix Chronicles : Indomitable” (2013), based on the world he created for “The Dragonphoenix Chronicles” comics. Hey, you should watch it – it’s cool!

Last Monday July 18, the filming for this year’s Cyprus Comic Con official trailer was completed!
Cosplayers, zombies and innocent passersby all contributed to the insanely fun teaser video to be unleashed very soon on to the web as well as your local cinema!
We were there to capture some of backstage craziness to give you a taste of what to expect!
Shield-maiden Lagertha and Death prepare to fight it off, but not before doing a few cute poses for our camera.
Special FX artist Rakis Georgiou created this incredible zombie makeup on our very own Nick Aristides.
Thor himself took a break from shooting his upcoming movie and visited our shoot location to take some photos with his zombie fans and to make fun of everyone for not being able to lift his hammer.
And look who else got to visit our set! None other than your friendly neighbourhood – oh wait a minute…
Meanwhile, we discovered that Death also has a playful side to him.
Our team of Comic Con staff and volunteers, always works hard and plays even harder! Although that zombie isn’t looking too great, I think it might be getting hungry!
To our pleasant surprise, a team of young and brave heroes arrived at the scene to sort out our mess and keep us in order!
Well our bus never arrived, so we just decided to have a party!
It was simply love at first sight for Thor and Deadpool who just couldn’t take their eyes off each other. <3

Cyprus Comic Con’s Cosplay Competition is now a EuroCosplay Championship Qualifier!
The EuroCosplay Championships are a series of cosplay competitions held in conventions and other similar partner events all over Europe. The winner of each competition receives the honour of representing their country in the EuroCosplay Final which is held annually at the MCM London Comic Con in October.
With Cyprus Comic Con now becoming one of its partner events, the CCC Cosplay Competition becomes a EuroCosplay Qualifier, meaning, the eligible winner of this September’s Cosplay Competition will get to represent Cyprus in London this coming October!
The eligible CCC Cosplay winner will not only be awarded with the usual grand prizes, but will also receive a return plane ticket to London, accommodation for 2 nights and a VIP weekend pass to the October 2016 MCM London Comic Con.
The EuroCosplay Final is one of the biggest international cosplay contests with over 30 countries participating. The judging panel of the London Final is always comprised of big names from the international cosplay scene flown in from America or Asia. The main focus of the judges is craftsmanship and all participating cosplayers are scored according to their accuracy 40%, costume construction 40% and performance 20%.
All participants are first inspected by the judges in a private session before the stage show, then they are given half a minute on stage to perform a quick skit which best shows off their costume such as a dance or performance (e.g. sword swinging and posing), a song or even a short theatrical performance.
Visit the EuroCosplay Facebook Page, Twitter or Website.
In order to be eligible for representing Cyprus in the EuroCosplay 2016 Final, you need to:
In the case that the the 1st place winner of the CCC Cosplay Competition is not eligible per the above rules, the next best eligible position holder will qualify. The Cyprus representative will be accompanied by CCC organisers during the event.
