Paul...Leland...Amy these people are our kinda people. Best and I mean BEST comic book haven one can wish for! From Palm Springs to San Diego this is the good vibes mecca. See staff from DC Comics there a lot as they are 5 blocks away. All ages ...all interests...and a banging selection. If you didnt know...well now you do! Enjoy !
This comic book store is massive!The owner Pauly is a great dude. Has been here since 1991. Everybody is welcome to peruse, browse and ask questions. There is something for everybody.Support a local business!
Knowledgeable staff. Well organized. Great selection of graphic novels, 2 to 3 times more than the average comic book store.
Small but oddly comfortable. Not claustrophobic or dusty. Good selection, knowledgeable staff. Its a good place to kill an hour or two.
A bit small.. but packed to the proverbial gills with Comuc books.. the staff seems well informed and are quite helpful
House of secrets is the premiere comic book store in Burbank. I have been coming here for over 15 years and I live 2 hours away. The place is well curated and maintained as well as incredibly fun to go visit. Check them out and chat up the clerk about whatever youre looking for, Im sure hell be able to find it.
Purchased some great comics. Great value and great service
Top quality comic book shop with the coolest people working. Its definitely one of the few shops that I will always shop at. Always clean and fully stocked. I would give them 10 stars if I possible. Parking is ample and easy to find as well.
Not open and almost 1pm on Tuesday. Wasted drive and website hours not true.
Great selection and knowledgeable staff
Good selection, nice layout and friendly staff.
Amazing store, had all the things that a classic comic book store should have and way beyond. A great example of how a store can be a modern collectable store without losing its roots. The art in the store is just the icing on the cake!
Great place. Lots of cool collectibles. All new releases. Huge selection of back issues. Will do pull sheets and hold books.
Awesome place that has a great books display. Good customer service. Great selection of comics. Received the best customer service out of all the comic shops I have visited so far. Well worth the travel to the location.
Pretty cool neighborhood comic shop. The staff is super cool. The decor and atmosphere is classic comic shop. The selection is amazing. Theres everything from the newest comics to a large selection of graphic novels to a bunch of classic back issues.
Honestly, first time there and a great section of books all around, and don’t forget to look at the glass case for older comics.
Love House of Secrets! Wall-to-wall great comic stuff and youll find at least one cover youll want to frame on your wall : )
First time. Great Organize Comic Store. Good Selection Of Titles.
Amazing comic book shop
Fantastic service, great variety :)
This is the best Comic Book Store in Burbank, and probably in my top 5 in Southern California. Lots of Back Issues and great pricing!
Great store with excellent people. You can usually find what your looking for here or they will help you find what you want.
Staff was cool as heck!! They didnt lie to me about their honest opinions on some of the books I selected to match up with my current reading material.
Very helpful, polite, and patient. Assisted me by showing me the book collections of the comics issues I was looking at before I even thought to ask about whether there were any, and helped me try to pinpoint where one of the newer Marvel characters I was looking into started appearing. Id definitely come back next time Im back in the area.
Been shopping here for years, I love the look and staff. Everyone’s down to earth. If you’re looking for something these guys are bound to have it, or at the very least they can tell you where you might find it.
One of the coolest comic book shops I have ever been in. Excellent selection of trade paper backs and hardbound editions. Lots of new issues and a great back stock of older issues. Lots of cool stuff to look at and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. If you are in the area definitely go support this local shop.
Didnt even go there
If theres any review you need, its this one.Plain and simple. All of the employees are amazing human beings. They all did their absolute best to help me find and order an older issue of Doomsday Clock (#11B if you must know). They have earned their reputation of being THE go-to spot for having a huge collection of backlogged issues. If you need anything, go here, you wont be disappointed. A shame they are so far from me though. 😭
First time writing a review, but I really wanted to give a shout out to the House of Secrets crew and especially the owner Paul who is a top bloke!I have bought books from House of Secrets before and found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful.What really stands out for me was when I wanted to sell some comics and graphic novels to Paul; he was so gracious and trusting: didnt try to nickle and dime me (obviously he needs to make a profit on what he buys), wasnt even going to check was I had brought in today until I requested he do so - to make sure he was happy with the merch.I have visited many comic book stores and dealers in different parts of the world over 30 plus years.Dealing with Paul probably ranks as one of the best buying and selling experiences.This is a great store and I hope people find this review helpful.
Theyre great to first time readers and veteran readers alike. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is pretty nice as well. Stopping by here is a must if youre an avid reader.
Great selection and nice store. Clerk gave me a nice discount at checkout. Thanks again
Basically the best comic shop in Burbank/LA. The new comics are organized really well, the staff is friendly, the decorations, posters and music create a great atmosphere that welcomes all comic fans new and old.
Very helpful and personal. Nice fresh change of pace. Will definitely be going there for all future purchases despite it being in the wrong direction from work to home.
I love this place. I just got back into collecting and had been looking for shops close to me. A lot of shops I went to felt impersonal or like I was being judged. But the moment I stepped into this shop they were incredibly helpful, kind and cool. The clientele is super nice too! Good people to stand in line with on Wednesdays before the shop opens. Great shop, highly recommend!
Paul & Co will do & order anything to make customers happy. Pull-list discount. One of the best- no, no.. the best comic shop in the area!
One of my favorite comic book stores in Burbank. Not really any anime though.
I had heard such great things about this local gem, that I had to check it out for myself.As I walked in I was immediately greeted by this real cool guy, very awesome customer service, i felt welcomed.House of secrets is not a massively huge place but an extremely comfortable shop to browse and find what your looking for.It also impressed me how well the walls are decorated by original art work, unique posters, cool hardcovers, silver age and bronze age comics, it well displays the unique images of cool comic book store, a little bit of the old and the new.I highly recommend this comic book shop, great customer service, well detail items for sale, fair prices and a pretty good location.
Ive been going to this comic book store for several years and I love it! The inside is on the smaller size but its very quaint and the decor is fantastic! The small size is only a issue during Free Comic Book day. The selection of comics is great and the owner is super nice! If youre in or near Burbank and you like comics, this place is a must-go!
While not well versed in comic books, I like perusing this shop for gift ideas for the nerds in my life. The staff is competent, location is convenient, and interesting enough to intrigue someone who knows little about what is going on here.
Workers are always helpful and willing to negotiate a fair price. They have amazing artwork. Hubby and I loved the Thor hammer stained glass window.Selection is greatArt is wonderfulAtmosphere is comfortable
Huge trade paperback selection, lots of back issues, plenty of current books and the nicest staff imaginable. Its clean, easy to navigate and is always playing some killer music.
Limits the number of people in store. Very friendly
Great selection of comics. Received the best customer service out of all the comic shops I have visited so far. Well worth the travel to the location.
What can I say? This is my place! This is where I go to get my comics. This is where I go when I have a comic related question or request. The staff is knowledgeable and fun! I think thats 90% of it right there. There are many comic book stores in Los Angeles. They all stock the same comics. But its the people that make you to want to keep coming back.
Love the staff. Really accommodating and helped me get back into one of my favorite hobbies. I only really pick up new issues so I cant really comment on their back issue or trade selection.
Looking for old comics in great condition? This is the place!!
Im from Minnesota and visited here because it had the best reviews. It did not disappoint. Wall to wall (and floor) comics, well organised, and friendly staff. This is my favorite comic book shop that I have ever been to.
I must admit, this little gem has replaced my old comic shop as my go to spot. I have picked up quite a few keys here and the proprietors are very helpful; as a matter of fact one could tell that they truly enjoy what theyre selling.GREAT JOB GUYS, AND GALS!
A great place for comics. The staff is very knowledgeable & helpful.
This is a fantastic comic book shop. It has a huge selection of books, (standard issues, hard/soft covers, collections) and it some rare issues which are available for purchase. The workers, only 3 as it is a small shop, are awesome. They are knowledgeable if you are curious about a certain book or series, they are friendly when you conversate with them and all while giving their own opinion on the subject you may be talking about. I have had no issues with them and will continue to purchase my comics from here. Highly recommend.
This place is great. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a great selection of both new books and trades, as well as a fair number of long boxes of back issues.Easily the best shop in the valley.
This shop is worth the trouble of getting to. Their single issues are well organized for searching for those hard to find titles. Will come again.
Super friendly staff that actually knows everything about comics. They have the best selection! (and will order whatever they can for you.)Love this place.
Awesome little spot! Had a great vast selection of comic books and pop culture paraphernalia. The walls, ceiling, and even floors were decked out in awesome nerd fashion. They hosted a popular YouTubers book signing and meet & greet there during my first visit.
Excellent selection. Clean store. Neat atmosphere. Very friendly & knowledgeable staff. Great sense of humor! Good prices and street parking options. This place is a jewel.
The place for all your comic needs.
Wonderful friendly service. A lovely place to shop for all your comic needs. Highly recommended.
Great spot. Lots of character and tons of comics at good prices.
First time visit. Was greeted warlmy and given an excellent breakdown of how the shop is laid out making my comic book hunting easy! All of the new stuff, tons of back issues, variety of graphic novels and plenty of comic related paraphernalia to choose from. Parking can be tricky but not a deal breaker. I enjoyed my first visit and look forward to returning over and over again. Make this shop your go to shop!
Cool shop lots of old comics and some great gems for sale. Got most of the new comics from Marvel Image DC Valiant. Lots of trades also and a couch to read your comics. Awesome customer love this place highly recommend coming here.
Nice comic book store. Very hip, and very comfortable for women to shop. They have women on staff and carry a wide variety of comics and books. I got hooked on Wicked + Divine here. Damn them.
All comic book / graphic novels are alphabetized by titles, easier to find. Very comfortable sofa coffee table. Hospitality was excellent. Friendly comic book fans & consumers. Thank you.
As a new customer, I found the staff very friendly and informative for my daughter and I. They answered all of my questions without being condescending and explained some of the information contained in the comic books themselves that I inquired about for investment purposes. Thank you, House of Secrets.A new and loyal customer,Bill
A cool, very friendly place to buy comics! Everything is organized well, and the staff are very helpful. Love the little lounge in the front--its a good place to sit and read comics. The 10% discount for female customers certainly doesnt hurt, either. :D
Great store. The owner and staff were awesome and I found a comic Id been looking for, for awhile. Definitely going back!
This place is the perfect spot to grab all your comic needs! The Staff was super nice and helpful. This little comic shop near PCC has lots of goodies! i was looking for a specific comic and called ahead, An employee took my name and number and went to look for it in the back stockroom. He called me back as soon as he found it, i drove down there and he had it all ready for me.Thanks!! Will be back!
Great spot for comics, graphic novels, and collectibles. Nice clean shop and great knowledgeable staff!
One of my favorite comic stores. The people are the best.
I must say that this is my favorite comic book shop. They have a wide selection of back issues and their prices are great. Usually, back issues get marked up substantially even for books that are considered readers... Not here.They have alot of new issues, but Ive never been lucky enough to find a variant. They have some obscure books as well. I dont care too much for the actual novels, but they have a bunch here. They also have a section full of readers that are priced as readers, which is good.Their kind enough to hold stuff for you and even took my number so they can inform me once they get new issues or back issues of books Im looking.Again, my favorite shop. So much so that I drive from Northridge area just to look around. :^D
My favorite Los Angeles comic book store. Fantastic selection, great single issue pricing, and an amazing, smart staff. Cant recommend enough!
Ive been going to this place for years-- best comic book store in the L.A. area, as far as Im concerned! The selection is great, the store itself has a nice layout & great comic-book decor, with a friendly, welcoming vibe from the staff, whove all been there for years as well and know their stuff. Highly recommended for fanboys & girls alike! :)
What an amazing find! Helpful, knowledgeable staff with incredible selection. Love this place.
Great selection! Cool staff
Great customer service and selection of new and vintage comics
Been shopping here for almost 20 years. Paul and his crew have spent a lot of time getting things setup and looking like a comic shop you Want to go In to and spend the time looking around at all the cool stuff from Floor to Ceiling.
This is the gold standard of comic book stores. The staff is knowledgeable, fun, and helpful.
Great selection, and the staff know their stuff
Great selection. Helpful and friendly staff
Our corner Comic shop has always been a great spot to visit!
I love this shop! Nice selection of volumes and ongoing issues. Theres a neato collection of figures/ geeky goods all around the store, so theres lots to oggle. Also the staff are friendly and helpful!
Im from AZ and happened to be staying at the Safari Inn across the street - so I just popped in for a bit and found a nice back issue of Warrens Vampirella that I didnt own. It was FCBD so the store was a bit more of a madhouse than Im sure it usually is, and I lingered less than usual because of this, but I loved the cool little shop and the awesome decor. The Plastic Man bench outside is a nice touch. I recommend The House of Secrets to any comic fans in Cali or just visiting the Burbank area!
Good staff. Good selection of trades.
Great place and staff. Amy is terrific and helpful at all times. My favorite comic shop in Southern California.
I grew up in Los Angeles at a time when comic books were not cool. They had yet to save the movie industry and you had very little to choose from when it came to feeding your comic habit. After spending the last 20 years in the middle of the pacific I have returned to LA to find a place that makes my heart all warm and fuzzy. Honestly, if I could open my own comic book store, it would be the House of Secrets. God bless you Eric and Amy, you have given us an oasis to quench our thirsty tale starved souls. The Art (Ragnar), the organization, the genuine friendliness, well done sir! I cant wait to visit your sanctuary again. And Brit says Ditto
Awesome the owner was very nice to us and they have tons of back issues prices well.
Friendly knowledgeable staff, best local comic shop in Burbank
Probably one of the best comic book stores in the valley
Lots of comics packed tight in a small store. You can spend hours going through them all. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Always amazing service and incredibly friendly. Like visiting family you really enjoy
I have been a customer of House of Secrets since 1999. Unfortunately, I had to move and finding a comic bookstore similar to House of Secret in San Diego county has been met with disappointment. The staff is really approachable no matter if you are an avid reader or just trying new things. I recently went back and it felt like home. All I can say is that I wish there was a House of Secrets in San Diego county.
The coolest shop, with huge selection, awesome artwork all over the place, and a super friendly staff.
Everyone that works here is so nice and approachable, this is one of the best comic book stores in Los Angeles area
