Peet Van Niekerk

Director - RCPG

Peet’s Dad never missed a day of reading the newspaper. Being a 6 year old, Peet jr had no  interest in the news (a trait that persists to this  day!). As a compromise, he was allowed to pick a  comic every time a newspaper was bought! The  rest, as they say, is history!  Art and design has always been part of Peet’s  backbone, as the owner and founder of a Global  Advertising Agency, Designer Needed, he is  always open for opportunities that could keep 

that love for art and illustration in and around him.

And just like that, Read Comics Play Games was  born! What was initially supposed to be a means  for the comic book collecting hobby to pay for  itself, evolved into a service that offers fellow  collectors access to a full range of ever evolving  comic book services in line with international  comic book standards.

With his business partner Barrie, they have  evolved from selling Comic book bags and  boards to selling Silver Age books from the 60’s  and recently, in partnership with CBCS, launched  a Comic book grading service to anyone in South  Africa!
