Early life edit

Petros was born in Chicago, Illinois. His father, uncle and grandfather were plumbers and mechanical engineers. The family moved to Clearwater, Florida, in 1968. Petros returned to Chicago in 1978, where he studied commercial art at Ray-Vogue Institute of Design and worked as an engineering technician for the City of Chicago. In 1982 he moved to New York City.[citation needed]

Magazine work edit

EXIT edit

EXIT was a New York City-based large-format alternative comic art, science fiction and graphics magazine published from 1984 through 1992. It was founded in 1983 by Petros, Adam Parfrey and Kim Seltzer, with R. Bruce Ritchie joining shortly afterward. Five issues were released; a sixth was partially completed. Parfrey left in 1987.[citation needed]

Seconds edit

Seconds (ISSN 1052-5025) was a New York City-based all-interview music, culture and true crime magazine founded in 1987 by promoter and DJ Steven Blush. The magazine was a fusion of punk rock and heavy metal sensibilities. It also covered R&B and hip hop. The final issue appeared in 2000.[citation needed]

Petros began writing for Seconds in 1987; in 1992 he became editor and occasional art director. The magazine expanded its coverage to include individuals involved with science and science fiction.[citation needed]

Propaganda edit

Propaganda was a Gothic subculture magazine founded in 1982 by New York City-photographer Fred H. Berger. It focused on all aspects of goth culture, including fashion, sexuality, music, art, literature, body modification, BDSM, paganism, role-playing, vampirism, and fetishism. Petros began writing for the magazine in 2000 and in 2001 was appointed senior editor.[citation needed]
