Adjacent to the heart of downtown Fullerton (where street parking and lot parking is free on Sundays), this cool little comic book store offers a decent mix of new and old comics. The staff was very knowledgeable about comics and eager to banter about them. Prices are slightly high but the selection is top notch. The walls are covered in original fantasy/sci fi art and the bathroom walls are 360 degrees decorated with cool posters. In the back of the store are tables and comfy couches for gamers to gather and play. read more

Love this spot! After going around seven different comic stores in the area and feeling very discouraged and disappointed at each one, I came to Comic Book Hideout seeking just one thing: Winter Soldier comics. I was at my wit's end. Several other comic stores didn't have any in stock, were closed on their supposed "open" hours, or just had the worst customer service. I had just spent an entire day going to different comic shops, getting ignored or dismissed by employees... and then I found Comic Book Hideout. Not only did they HAVE Winter Soldier comics, an employee (Nate?) went above and beyond to sort through every box to find me issues that even had the barest minimum of Bucky Barnes cameo. The issues were in great quality and reasonably priced, too. I even managed to find another elusive issue here that I've been hunting online for MONTHS. Comic Book Hideout felt like a reward after all the suffering and frustration I endured at all the other, neighboring comic shops in the area. Save yourself the trouble and just make this place your number one pick. Their selections and friendly customer service are unmatched, at least in a 25 mile radius around it! read more

I've been to the store a few times. I really enjoy going there. I don't live in the area so I'm not a regular. But I love the layout and vibe of the store. They have a very large new issue selection. Nice sized back issue selection with a lot of key issues. Nice selection of figures. Very large store for the area too. When I was there there was somebody working on some original art for the store. She was really talented. The female owner sorry I wish I got her name was really nice to talk to when she wasn't trying to figure out the register system. Next time I'll spend more time there small talking. I like the vibe of the store. read more

Comic book hideout is an amazing little spot that hits the mark for any comic reader!!! I really enjoyed this shop and its dedication not only to the fans of comics but they have a great spot in the back for kids and other activities along with indie artists artwork. I may have to hit them up and see if they would be willing to put some of my illustrations out. I was a let to get all my usual comics and more, the staff is very knowledgeable and it was great just talking with them. The shop has a hide out vibe which is cool and I think they could even re organize it a bit to make it feel like a lair !! That would be awesome. But that's coming from a guy who loves TMNT and has always wanted to make A turtle lair comic shop. Prices were perfect even for some of their exclusive covers and. Backlog comics. I also love that they get in the blank covers for artists. I live in Corona and I have not found a good shop out here so I have to travel out and I'm glad I found this one. I just won't be able to come down as much as I'd like to. But I appreciate the foundation of where this shop Began , the amazing owner who established a shop Dedicated to the heart of comics and the appreciation for indie artists. I'll be back for sure!!! read more

Comic Book Hideout - Store front entrance - Comic Books Near Me - Fullerton, California

I loved the atmosphere, the customer service, and the wide range of selections. The store is clean and feels welcoming. I also loved the space for children and the friendly advice from the staff members. read more

Comic Book Hideout was a really cool place! I want to start this review by saying that I know absolutely NOTHING about comic books. I do, however, have a son and wanted to take him to see if there was anything cool to pick up. He is sort-of into super heros - but nothing too crazy. I wanted to show him that there's a lot of different kinds of comics (Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, Super Heros/villain's) and see if anything peaked his interest. The workers at CBH were so very, very, nice. Sometimes places can be kind of elitist - and we didn't feel that at all here. My son is very into Captain Underpants, and while they didn't have anything specific on him the man working at the counter was nice enough to see if they had anything by that author and gave some recommendations for comic books for younger children. Fullerton is a hell of a drive from me (SFV!), but if I am ever in the neighborhood again I would make a point to stop by and support this business. read more

Hands-down the best comic book store experience! This was hands-down the best experience I have ever had at a comic book store! As someone new to comic books, walking into a shop can sometimes feel intimidating, but the environment at Comic Book Hide Out is simply second to none. The staff is incredibly friendly, inviting, and highly knowledgeable. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and completely at home while you shop. If you are an amateur like me and don't exactly know what you're looking for, there is absolutely zero pressure. Instead, they offer gentle nudges toward the best content that perfectly fits your personality and needs. The entire staff is phenomenal, but I have to give a special shoutout to the owner and the GM. They are the best two people I've encountered in a business setting in a very long time. Their passion for what they do and the way they treat their customers truly sets this shop apart. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I've been here a few times, both to look at their Comic books and for their art events. This shop is very cool and I love that they also support awesome local artists! Prices are reasonable and the staff are super friendly! Definitely stop by for their next event or to browse their selection on a free day! read more

A very unique comic store compared to others, they go the extra mile for the community with supporting more local artists directly in the industry or upcoming with events & signings and their actual store is greattt, always friendly and attentive towards everyone it's worth the stop to visit! read more

Loved how they knew everything! Great service made me want to come back. They had a lot of selection of DC comics which I liked. Also the prices were pretty good. read more

I came here for a book release in their event space. Located in Downtown Fullerton, this shop is not short on square footage. Their inventory is impressive and the layout is open and welcoming. I really should return to check out their graphic novels and comic book selections. I miss browsing for treasures. This place brings me back to my childhood. read more

Old school vibe comic shop . Lots new and old stuff . This is the way I want my comic shop to look. No frills just comics . Dig through bins find an old nostalgic treasure. Bought a Howard the duck and a kiss comic here. Got some old Batman for my cousin. And found some good cheap reads for stuff that I don't plan to keep long term that will pass on to someone else when I'm done that I didn't spend a bunch of money on read more

Stopped in here after riding the train to Fullerton. The shop is an easy ~10min walk from the station. Friendly service, and a great selection of items. Picked up a few I'd never seen before. read more

Just want to give props to Nate, who always runs a great floor everytime I've visited. I brought in some trade-in's yesterday, and I was impressed by the way he juggled walk-ins, serious collectors, kids, and board gamers. His knowledge about comics, the shop's stock, and cool demeanor always make for a welcoming environment. This shop and it's clientele are lucky to have him. read more

Their customer service is ok But they are taxing like crazy, can get everything they have at a cheaper price. DONT BE FOOLED read more

Amazing! Never disappoint with the amount of variants they have. Vibes are immaculate and cozy. Workers always friendly and easy to talk with. Wide selection both old and new and sections dedicated to horror,indie, and licensed. Definitely my favorite comic shop ever. read more

The service was great because they knew where to find what you were looking for. The selection of comics was good for both their current titles and back issues. And, their social media presence really drew me in. read more

Love how u walk in and no one welcomes you, guy at the counter doesn't ask if I need any help, I was looking around for like ten minutes, just cold.. kind of your typical comic book store.. prices are high on older books keys.. I wouldn't go back or recommend it to anyone.. read more

I visited the shop for just ten minutes and I LOVED IT!! Great service and easy to navigate. Definitely recommend

Huge selection. Great mystery bags and kids section for the children. Very stuffy and hot inside. Needs better ventilation. Not the best service for children. The employees were more service friendly and focused on the adults in the store. read more

I love this place!! They're always up to date when it comes to ongoing runs and every employee I've encountered is friendly and helpful.

Awesome vibes, cool art gallery, very friendly staff. They hold so many fun events, live music, even music lessons...and offer so much more than a regular book shop. Highly recommend checking it out. read more

Came for my birthday weekend with the kids great selection and super helpful knowledgeable staff.

My friend Ophir introduced me to this comic book hideout where they sell DC, Marvel, Star Wars, and independent comic books. They have comic book writers I know from cosmic lion productions after, I visit Long Beach comic con last year. Other than that, I love reading Superman 78 and Batman 89 as an alternative continuation of the first 2 movies instead of the last 2 sequels of poorly written. Anyway, I don't mind Superman and Batman 3 and 4 in general as a kid. The service is great for selling comic books to own as a fanboy. The values of T-shirt sales are great for their own merchandise. read more

I revisited the Hideout yesterday to see if there had been any changes since my last visit. The service is still exemplary and the person who helped me was very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. There's still a great selection and some gems (priced as such) to be found in the back issues bins those willing to go on a bit of a hunt. I'm happy to report that pricing on open-order-variants/b-covers is cover price, as it should be (at least for the books I purchased). Unfortunately, that's all that seems to have been improved. There is still a ridiculous markup on back issues. I found books that go for $1 in every other store that were priced at $5 which is like asking $50,000 for a 1992 Honda Civic; just because it's not new anymore doesn't make it a classic. It doesn't help that another comic book store (which I won't mention here) has opened nearby that does not apply a markup on every book finds itself in the back issues bins. Ultimately, the Hideout is a good place to get new issues, including open-order/b-cover variants, but I can't advise casually buying anything more than a year old unless it's a specific book that you're hunting for and you're willing to pay a (sometimes steep) premium to fill a gap in your collection. read more

Used to be my favorite store. I respect small business owners, so I do empathize that times are tough, but I've never experienced this before so a little shocked. Found a comic that was priced, and before checking out, the store owner believes it to be undervalued, so decided to increase the price. Maybe just me, but it didn't sit right with me. Again, love the workers there, but do we have to maximize the profits all the time? If you've priced it, I think you should honor it... read more

Amazing comic store the selection is awesome from golden age to silver and even current comics staff and workers are super kind and polite will help find whatever you're looking for and prices are fair/decent read more

Fantastic store. Really cool vibe and extremely helpful staff! I'm new to comic book reading so the staff there helped me pick out a couple things to try. Can't wait to crack them open! read more

Such a great place with fantastic people!!!! Everyone is super helpful! My first time coming and definitely coming back!

A great hideout indeed for comic book enthusiasts! You can be here for hours and come out with a large bagful of comics as I did. They have new released comics, complete graphic comic novels, complete comic book sets, action figures, and much more! The staff here know their comics and are incredibly helpful to go above and beyond to ensure your comic shopping experience is the best. They may even have discounts which is even more of a reason to go out on a shopping spree, or special events to hang out there and know the comic book community in this area. This is definitely a go-to comic book shop in my comic book! read more

Super dope place. All of the employees as well as the manager are very nice and welcoming. I've been coming here for months and I've never had a bad visit. There's lot of variety at this comic store and I can't wait to start walking here again after school read more

My new favorite comic book store. I had a great experience here today. I'm getting back into reading and had just previously visited another store that was very dissatisfying. Coming in here was the complete opposite and a breath of fresh air. The store is aesthetically great and what you'd hope a comic book store to be. I was warmly greeted immediately upon entering. Employee Nate gauged to see if I needed help finding anything and I let him know I was getting back into reading. I had asked about a specific run and he showed me exactly where to start. He then recommended a few others and was very personable and not overbearing. I left with a couple new books one of which Nate had recommended. This place was excellent and I will definitely be coming back. If you're looking for a good local comics store, this is the one! read more

A really cool place to check out. Great selection of Comics and magic cards. Great staff too.

I originally came here for a yelp event and came back with a friend to shop. Don't forget to check in and get your Yelp coupon. This store is well organized and has tons of comics and comic / gaming stuff. There is even a discount section if you are on a budget. The staff are super cool and friendly. The owner teaches a two week comic book creation class . See store for details. The store has cool decorations that include a life size Spider-Man , pinball machine, and a cute cat that roams the place. Parking is available on the street. Space is limited. read more

Amazing selection and the friendlist, most helpful, and most knowledgeable staff ever! How lucky Fullerton is to have this gem. Highly, highly recommended! read more

When we moved here this became my local comics shop and it's been that since. (Though there wasn't much competition. The other place I'd been to didn't have the breadth of selection that I was used to.) This was the last physical place of business I went to before locking down for the pandemic. Quarantine sent me off the schedule of visiting the comic shop once a week like I had for most of my adult life, though it's been years since I've bought comics regularly, but it's always been nice to stop in when I can. Now this is my place for occasional gifts, and they usually have a great book I can give. Not much for back issues, as much as they try -- no place short of a warehouse could be -- but they've got other stuff like Magic TG cards and toys, so there's always something neat to find. The interior is stimulating and lots of stuff for comics and pop culture fans. And Glynis and Funky are great folks who run a friendly shop, so this is surely a gem in Fullerton. read more

This place is great! They have the usual comic books as well as Pokémon cards that my son loves! They sell them in packs and individually. They have other card games as well like Magic. They have game nights too. read more

Hi Glynnes, I appreciate that you took the time earlier over the phone, to walk me through, and explain to me the Pull List process you guys have going at Comic Book Hideout. I tried it out after our phone call and very easy to use. Also, everyone that works there at Comic Book Hideout are the best people you'll meet. Funky, I believe his name is, always greets me when I visit the store, we chat over what I've been reading, and recently he helped me discover new Indi titles which I gotta say, are badass. For anyone looking for a local comic book shop to visit, this place will take care of you. Walk in with confidence, you'll more than likely want to stay in the store there all day. Best Regards, Mario Avalos read more

absolutely love love love coming here. The staff is always so welcoming and really make you feel at home. And the variety of comic books they have is absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend! And all there comics are at reasonable price. I have gone to many other comic stores and always come back to this one. Others are always so expensive. read more
