Collector's Paradise started in
September of 1994, when myself and my father-in-law Joseph
bought an existing comic book store, called Little Angel's
Comics. The business
was in shambles but Pogs were keeping it afloat at the time.
Since then, we have moved 2 doors down to a bigger location
and, in the last couple of years, have finally started to
showcase the vision of the store that we have always wanted to
have.
Nick, a long time customer, has become our #1 guy in the
store with both customers and behind the scenes, and at this
time we are moving forward into online presence and
creation of online customer services.
Collector's Paradise is a proud member of ComicsPRO, a
retailer organization dedicated to the progress of direct
market comic book retailers. To find out more click the

Edward was born in a small town in Belarus in 1971. After immigrating to United States in 1987, Edward has
never looked back.
Edward's comic book addiction started
in 1992, when while working across the street from the famous
Golden Apple Comics, Edward heard about the "Death of Superman. That day the first comic book was bought and life was never the
same again. Just 2 years later Collector's Paradise was founded.
Edward's hobbies include photography and
fishkeeping. |
Born in Gomel, a small town in belarus, joseph immigrated to
U.S. In 1989. After several jobs in electronics repair,
Joseph opened Collector's Paradise with Edward, his son-in-law,
in 1994. In the beginning, Joseph was not very interested in the
creative side of the business, but in the last few years, he's
really come around and is a huge fan of many more mature titles
like "Y The Last Man", "Walking Dead", "Preacher" and others.
Joseph's favorite hobby is spending his time with his two
grandkids, Alexis and Ilana. |
Born in the Philippines in 1982, Nick came to America when he was 2 years old.
Nick's first encounter with comics occurred in 1990, when Marvel released its first set of trading cards. He and his older brother worked hard completing the set (He still has them stashed somewhere). Beginning with an obsession for the X-Men, Nick's tastes have since widened over the years. From Marvel to DC to Indie comics, he is happy to read (and recommend) anything that's well written and beautifully drawn.
Aside from his comic book geekiness, Nick loves baseball, and spends an obsessive amount of time managing his fantasy baseball teams. |
