Very nice comic store had what i was looking for very nice staff and great atmosphere :)⭐️

Very clean and easy to locate titles. Awesome selection of new titles, mainstream and indie. Great art books also.

Its okay small comic shop the girl working there was nice and friendly.

Mid sized shop with a great selection of new comics and classics. The staff was quite friendly and had nothing but positive vibes. My girlfriend found a witty comic called “I Moved to Los Angeles to Work in Animation”, which looked to be an animators illustrated journey from her hometown of Portland to LA to make it in the animation industry. I scooped that and the latest volume of Paper Girls. When I went to make my purchase the girl at the register offered a bag which I almost passed on. She tempted me with the promise of it being a pretty cool one so I said “okay I will take the bag please!” She even threw in some custom SHQ coasters and the bag did indeed have a cool cartoon graphic on the front. Overall I was happy with my experience and purchases. 4 days later I’m home putting my recently purchased comics away and I just realized that the printed graphic has caricatures of the shop owners printed on the bag! How cool is that!

Awesome and cozy, great spot for any comic lover.

Fantastic layout. Comics have their own cubbies, clean and easy to browse. Lots of titles available, tons of indie and small publisher options.

Definitly recommend stopping by Secret Headquarters if youre in LA. Great selection and covers worth framing : )

Smaller venue, with pleasant helpful staff.

Low key comic book store, I went in to buy bags and boards for my comics. I couldnt help myself to buy current, morden and back issues. Store has old book store vibe. Besides that they carry lot of graphic novels and paper backs. Any ways, I ended up spending more than $350. I asked for a discount. David, who works there agree to gave me a deal. So total came out to $299.I was very thankful and happy that he gave me a deal.

In Los Angeles at least, this is surely the best comic shop for 1) artistic zines/comic zines (if you dont know what a zine is look it up; they are smaller than a comic book/comic magazine, thats the fastest way to describe them) 2) zine-type home-pressed artistic pamphlets 3) Probably also best for books that collect underground and small press comics, especially now that Meltdown Comics is gone 4) and probably now best also for books that collect material similar to that found in underground comics and zines, for books that are zine-like. Some nice stuff. Not all the zines are comic zines, they have other kinds of zines too, but mostly comic zines. Mega City One comics probably has a better selection of actual Indie comic books, as opposed to little zines. I havent seen little zines at Mega City One before. For Secret Headquarters, my big complaints are two: 1) that they dont carry Regular Sized Mylar Bags and Boards, and when I told them this two different times, both times they thought I was referring to Current Size bags and boards. No, Current Size is Current Size, while Regular Size bags and boards are larger and much better for 80s and 90s comics. Hopefully they will carry Regular Size bags and boards, because those are actually the Go-to sizes at most comic stores, not the Current Size ones. I know that because Ive been to a number of comic stores. 2) They dont have parking, and as they know, its usually difficult to find parking. A fun comic shop to browse and shop, most definitely, but they should move to a place with parking available and while theyre at it how about moving to nearby East Hollywood! East Hollywood is cooler than Silverlake and more people pass through there as well. 😼

Favorite place to buy comics.

This is a super cute comic book store on sunset that one should definitely check out. They have a nice small collection from various publishers. The store has a vintage feel but is super clean inside. They participate in free comic day too. Its a nice intimate setting with a darker ambiance making this hidden gem a diamond in the rough.

Excellent curated selection of comics with an emphasis on independent comics and graphic novels. Loads of hidden gems and a great staff. Its a staple for me when Im in LA. Always something new and exciting to discover.

In a bohemian (North Silver lake) neighborhood. Wish they had a nicer place to sit and read. Decent collection of books but lacks the ambiance inside. Wish they also had some other genres in addition to comic books. Also, to add a personal touch, its helpful to have an owner who comes interacts with clients. Can do better but always love seeing some kind of a brick-and-mortar bookstore. Another plus is that there are a bunch of awesome bohemian food places and smoothie/juice places right around there.

Really cool place. The employee was super nice and informative. Definitely the best comic shop Ive been to

Great book store, lots of niche zines and comics. A gem

The place is great and is the closest comic book store in my neighborhood. They have self-published books and comics which is always worth buying. They have a great selection of comics of different genres and the weekly issues too. I highly recommend this place if you come across the Hollywood/Silverlake area.

I loved the trendy boutique look of this small comic book store but the two ladies who work here were not friendly at all.Being Silver Lake, it had a cool vibe to it and the best looking comic book store space Ive seen. I loved the indie music they were playing at the time of visit which made for a pleasurable comic book browsing experience. There was a section of indie comics and graphic novels which was interesting.Its a trendy small comic book store that is neat and well organized. I didnt like the lousy hipsters who work here who need to lose the Im cooler than you attitude.Minus one star for the people who work here. Five stars for the shop and selection itself.

This is a great place. Ive been coming for 10 years, and Ive stopped going anywhere else. Good selection of mainstream and indie books, good and helpful service, and great atmosphere. It feels like a book store, and not a toy store. I love it.

Its small but pleasant, and the customer service was excellent.

One of the few places in Los Angeles that has a wide selection of comics and graphic novels. I like the fact that they also showcase a lot of local artists. Also the employees are super helpful with their recommendations and I can see how much they love comics as well.

The comic book selection is great here. Lots of indie comics and graphic novels alongside the ones from big publishers. The whole place feels like classy like nice upscale book store. The staff there is happy to help you if you walk up to the counter and ask, but be specific and dont expect them to walk up to you and give you the overbearing can I help you with something? bit.

A boutique comic shop with an odd and high brow aesthetic. Look here for the rare and culturally relevant fringe one offs and periodicals.

Small, unique store. They helped hook me up with several copies of a rare variant release. My friends and I were so excited to get our hands on them! Very professional and knowledgeable staff. I am very grateful to them!

Theres nothing wrong with comic book stores run by guys who are dead wringers for Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons, but I really like the cleaner, smoother, hipster-but-not-in-a-bad-way vibe at Secret Headquarters.

Dude was super chill working the register nice selection definitely will be back

A small comic store in Silverlake, they’ve got a good selection of current issues. While the volume of graphic novels may seem small, the actual content is good, with a large range of not just the standard Marvel and DC, but also independent prints and lesser known publishers such as Avatar and Image.The staff were friendly enough and I was able to find what I needed (which while not obscure, was something that I didn’t have high hopes of finding). Service with a smile and I was on my way.

Secret Headquarters is a fun, old comic store with some great finds. They sell all the comic classics and then some. Highlights were the comic zines in the front for just a few bucks. They sell a basketball zine that is hilarious!

I have an issue with this place. A big issue. About a year ago, the writer I was working with and I came into the store to try to get out comic book on the shelves. Seeing as we were independent comic book creators, we thought this store could be a great match. Meltdown Comics and Golden Apple Comics ended up selling our comics, but this store did not.Now, I dont have an issue with them rejecting the comic, I really dont. I have an issue with the way in which it was done. Whoever the man is who was working there that day probably thought I was just a chubby nobody chick looking through the comics while he discussed the comic with the writer he didnt know I was working with. He probably thought that the artist of the comic, me, would never hear what he had to say. But I did.He had the audacity to say, as he roughly flipped through the 24 page comic book, that I clearly have no natural talent. I find what he said to be not only rude, but completely inappropriate. He is not the sole dictator on what passes as art. He needs to learn how to interact with artists and writers who come to him. Like I said, I dont really care that he didnt accept my comic, but I care that he had so little decorum that he would carelessly throw out one of the most offensive phrases one could ever say about a creative person.Its sad that such a beautiful and well-stocked store is run by such a discourteous and condescending man.I havent made a single comic book since he said that and after 6 years of working together my creative partnership is over, leaving us with thousands of dollars worth of useless printed comic books. I still make art but his destructive words have never left my mind and still affect me to this day.

Needs more of a selection of comics

This place is an amazing store. Very small but unique. Amazing signage and craft

Here is a little tiny cómic store. Great selections of comics. Good place!

It can be a little snooty and geared towards Chris Ware-like indie publishers, but its a comics shop filled with great comics, picked by discriminating owners. Completely lacking all of the nasty things many comics shops have in spades (large lifesize cutouts of impossibly anatomically strange big breasted superhero women, etc), this is a place for comics readers to feel elevated and for comics newbies to feel comfortable.

Super clean and organized, friendly, knowledgeable staff, wonderful selection of mainstream, indie, and self published works.

They almost always have what Im looking for and if not they will order it for you and have it shipped to store. Great variety of comics for a small shop.

The balance of new weekly comics with a superior Indy selection cant be beat. Class act, always stop here when in town, now they just need to offer their adorable kids mascot shirts in adult sizes!

Secret Headquarters is cozy and warm with very friendly staff. I just love having this as my neighborhood comics shop!

Nice people. Beautiful store

Really good selection of stuff despite how small they are. I dont care much about back issues; Im usually trying to find new/interesting graphic novels and zines.

Not the friendliest comic store Ive reviewed. Not even a hello or can I help you find anything. Also, pretty small, and not a whole lot of selection.

Simply put; a comic lovers paradise.

Great shop! Highly recommended.

Great selection and great staff

Really cool location with a wonderful selection of comics and graphic novels

Perfect little comic book store -- Im lucky to live in the area!

Nice little hole in the wall comic shop

I was worried when I read reviews about the people being snooty. But they were nice and the store looked nice. Its not filled with posters everywhere but still looks nice.

Great comic book store in the middle of the neighborhood

If all you want are books, this is the place to go. Nice, cozy, small atmosphere. Lots of indie and small press comics in addition to superhero stuff.

Great selection, especially indie and European comics!

This was the first comic book store i ever went to and it was amazing and the service was great :D

Love their selection, ordering ease. & free comic book day!

Not the biggest variety in comic selection but not a lot will go searching beyond the big 2 (marvel and DC) which is what they carry mostly. A few image and other publishers are there

Ok for new issues and graphic novels... much else for sale at this store

Great comics here for all ages.

Fantastic staff with great recommendations!

Helpful and polite staff

Great display and hospitaligy

Small venue but carries a variety of indie comics.

Crappy hipster comic shop with no back issues and crappy selection of books.

Sure its small, but secret headquarters is packed with treasures.

Yes! Zines and comics and stuff.

Comic book store in silverlake, enough said

Amazing store

Cant recommend enough!

Great staff

Friendly staff

Great selection

More for elitist comic readers not for regular comic readers

Great place !!!

Small but sturdy, this comics shop hides real nuggets. This place in the comic strip is very welcoming and offers a large selection of works. Pop culture lovers must stop there. The street is superb too.

It is a small comic bookstore, but there are many attractive books published by local bookstores. Recommended to save rare comic books, illustrated books

Nice shop. Comics for every taste, very friendly staff for a long time trying to find something that is not there :-)
