Highly recommend for those who are new to the comic world. As a new comic reader, I found the staff to be super helpful in filling me in on the "structure" of comics. I had no idea where to start and it's a bit daunting when you want to read Batman but you see issue #106 on the cover. I didn't know where I could pick up but the staff explained how the storylines work in comics and gave me great recommendations on where to start and what lined up with my interests. Now, roughly 3 months later I have several subscriptions, read about 4-5 comics a week, and I'm invested in the current DC titles. read more

Went in yesterday to pick up my first physical comics because I'm new to collecting and I had a great experience with the staff. Very friendly and willing to show you around/get you what you need read more

I woke never recommend these people to anyone! After exchanging several emails with the owner Glynnes we had agreed to $400 for my collection of over a thousand Comics. I had explained that I had been recently diagnosed with a rare thyroid cancer and survival chances are slim. She expressed sympathy and told me to bring the books. I showed up and she wasn't able to be there and her father briefly skimmed the collection and gave me $150! Some books were not in best shape but modern had been kept in bags with boards. Not to mention there were full books, sets and several rares in there. I didn't have the strength to carry them back out to my car and felt humiliated. The gentleman working the register even appeared to be upset by e what he had just witnessed. If you make an agreement with a person, you should honor it! Deplorable! read more

Absolutely love this place. Great family spot. The staff are always helpful. I personally love the fact that every staff member I meet will have a conversation with you. And now I see they have music lessons. "Lark music lessons". Witch is great. I have been thinking of getting my family and I into learning how to play. If they don't have what you are looking for. They will help you find a way to get it. Help keep these places alive. Come have a visit. 1. Great staff 2. CLEAN place and restrooms 3. Owner is awesome. 4.There is alway something fun going on here. Weather for kids or adults. Great place. Hope this place never leaves read more

:-) :-D Cool collection of vintage, indie and comix (underground comics). They don't budge on pricings, it seems. But like the place's feng shui. Guys working there are helpful. They have a cubbyhole for amateur artists, which is neat. Would pop in again. read more

Popped in to get some boards and bags to sell a recently acquired small (600-800) collection of Silver/Gold Age comics on eBay. Walked in with my semi-annoyed 12 year old daughter. She'd rather be Insta/Tweet/U-Tubing with all her pals than hang wit her 'ol man at a comic shop. You guys with tween/teen daughters & sons know where I'm coming from right, effin digital age!!! Needless to say she was semi-chilled when she met the shops mascot/pup Kyera (Sp) who distracted her for long enough for me to get my groove on. Upon entry I (we) quickly met Glynnis (sp?) the shop's owner who for some reason still looks familiar to me? She enthusiastically greeted me and professed to give me the store's lowdown. She really knows her shit! She has been in the comic & collectables game for a long time and is very enthusiastic about the comic collecting hobby in general. From oldies (silver / golden age) to the latest graphic novels. One of a kind-proofs, independents, magazines, trade books and supplies, posters, POP, figurines, and every kind of other comic related stuff you can imagine. CBH has got you covered and then some. They also have music lessons, gamer tourneys, art shows and who knows what else. Comic Book Hideout is the poster child for independent mom n pop shops. Need to have more like her! You need to visit. I'll be back! read more

Where to start. Although this is my second time in this shop, this is the first time I went for the purpose of getting into comic book reading. As soon as my fiancée and I walked in we were greeted by the nice young lady in the front desk who asked if we were looking for something in particular which I eventually asked what she recommended for a beginner and she was very helpful with that. After an hour of my fiancée and I browsing around through every section of the store for comic books and other goodies, I finally picked a couple comics up for purchase. During checkout the front desk young lady was very helpful and generous with knowledgeable answers to my random newb questions. I will definitely be coming again to this awesome comic book store due to the warming environment and the amount of awesome comics that they carry from throwbacks, new releases, grails, among other things. Thanks Comic Book Hideout crew for such a great experience! read more

Comic Book Hideout - Today's picks. - Comic Books Near Me - Fullerton, California

Great places for comics, figures and art events! I bring my daughters there to expose them to comics, reading and art and it's a great environment with friendly staff and family atmosphere. It's always a positive experience and don't get snooty vibes like other stores when you bring a kid in. I also picked up cool comic cloth masks that I always get complimented for. Just wish they had a little more collectible figure n funko selection but comics are there gem. My favorite thing that gives this place character is there beautiful dog they got just chilling in there store! I think more shops need chill friendly dogs like that. Anyway awesome spot and inspiring to my daughters to see a female comic owner and staff passionate about comics and art, highly recommend for families and anyone. read more

This comic book store is such a hidden gem!!! Came in here on Saturday afternoon with my fiancé and they had such a large collection of really great comic books! You could get lost in here for hours. But what really makes the difference here is their staff! The gentleman in the front was super friendly and very knowledgeable about comic books! He was very willing to answer any questions we had. Check this place out! read more

I needed some long boxes and they had long boxes. I went in and purchased long boxes. The employees were great. Kind of a seamless does this dude work here or just love comic books type of vibe. Great stuff. Everything was great. Comic shops can be weird. This one is not. I'm going to go back and dig through their back issues soon. Very nice. read more

Stopped by this spot on Wednesday evening and to our surprise it was still open late...5 stars just for that right there! Hubby is a comic collector so he was so happy to find 2 comics that he wasn't able.to get from he regular comic book shop. I also found some awesome coasters I had to have one for the office, one for home and the Stranger Things one for my daughter. The place is very neat and tidy but the absolute shock factor for me was how clean and nice smelling their bathroom is. read more

Comic Book Hideout - The store front is awesome AF! - Comic Books Near Me - Fullerton, California

This store is located on Commonwealth Ave, near the Fullerton Police Station. I always walk by, but never have stopped. Today I walked in, and was greeted by a welcome hello. My eyes travelled to the "Wicked Girl" section, which are my favorite. The store is very organized, and the associates are eager to help you with your selection. They have a game machine in the back, and sofas and chairs for you to sit. Will be coming back to put additional "wicked girl" comics in my collection. read more

This place is awesome! I was looking for a copy of Wytches and while they didn't have it, the guy working said he would give me a call when they get more copies in. The guy working was beyond helpful. He went the back multiple times to grab back issues for me. This place is huge. They have an arcade, a TV, and space for magic and D&D tournaments. I will be back! read more

So I decided to take my daughters to this local comic book shop for our very first time so they can explore their emerging Marvel fandom, and boy did we go big. Spent well over $100 on some Wandavision books and comics that were recommended by a very kind young man that was patient with all three of us as he explained the evolution of the characters through the various printed materials that we didn't even know existed. For that much, I give the experience a solid 10. Now for the reason we will never, ever go back. No more than a minute after my paying for our goods, a dog the size of a small pony came charging out of nowhere INSIDE the store, and scared the ever-loving shit out of myself and my young girls. Apparently this was the shop dog, though there was absolutely no warning that such a thing should have been expected inside of NOT a pet store. I don't know why this company thinks that everyone that walks in there should love dogs, especially when it's a comic book store and not a Petsmart. That dog was HUGE and unleashed, and it CHARGED at us, apparently because it was excited at the sight of the employees' friends; because that makes it ok, for whatever reason. You got a lot of my money today and you could have much more, but my girls will never ever allow me to step foot in your location ever again. For those of you who were there to witness that encounter, I'm sure you have no doubt that you've frightened us off for good. read more

One word to describe this comic book store: WOW (how can I set the font size to 90, because this should be a biiiig WOW)! I have visited almost every store in the Los Angeles and Orange County area and this is definitely the one that has the strongest spirit of comic books love!!! First of all, the space is very big and you can find all your new releases from the top publishers and the independent guys. But what strikes you when you enter here is the huge selection of back issues and the extreme care that the owner of the store put in organizing everything. Each and every issue is bagged and boarded, everything is in order, they have separate sections for each publisher, separate sections for some of the top authors, separate section for silver age titles (and they have a lot of them in great conditions and with good prices). Everything here smells of passion for comics. The owner is a young lady super sweet and pretty. She loves comic books and she is putting all her love in this store (and you can tell). She also organizes courses for kids on how to draw comics, courses for cosplayers, etc. This is comic book heaven! I should consider moving to Fullerton only to go to this store eheheh!!! read more

Comic Book Hideout - OMG this has been the first comic book I ever read in my life. I bought the Italian edition when it came out in the late 80s. - Comic Books Near Me - Fullerton, California

Will never do business here again. Sold me two books 3 hours ago via phone order at the PRICE THEY TOLD ME, their sticker price. Then they call me 3 hours later and cancel my order. The employee tells me they can't sell me the books because he went on ebay and he cant sell them to me at the price i had already paid. I can still buy the books at a higher price though. never been so disrespected by a company before. read more

Was trying to find comic book stores that also sell manga...went to four different places, and Comic Book Hideout was a one stop shop for us!!!! Can't wait to keep coming back, everyone's so nice and the comics/manga are all so organized and v modern too. Has a pretty cool lil horror section as well read more

The new location in one word: AMAZING! Tons of space, more games, more art and more comics than a normal shop would know what to do with! The location: 215 W. Commonwealth right next to the police station and caddy corner to Bootleggers! Plenty of parking in front (usually) or tons in the opus day bank lot or if it's really jammed ( new comic day, FNM, or Wednesday Game night) their is additional parking behind the rear lot. Expanded art gallery for local artists to display affordable art. Larger arcade area with 3 machines ( I'm told more are coming) and a vastly expanded Lounge area and room for over 30 FNM players! Owner Glynnes Pruett has really outdone herself in this awesome new COMIC BOOK HIDEOUT! read more

Comic Book Hideout - Glynnes and a raffle winner - Comic Books Near Me - Fullerton, California

Nice place friendly people.. my only issue is the over pricing on a Spider-Man 1 GOLD torment (Todd Mcfarlane) addition they not only had this issue not grade but had the nerve to price it at $600 for a miss print of white lettering on the title sadly they are mistaken and I feel bad for who ever bought it. Every issue has that my copy even has its. Depending if you find one it could land you $10-30 but not the newsstand one that's nearly $100-$120. Please do your research read more

Comic Book Hideout - Comic Books Near Me - Fullerton, California

One of my go to shops when I'm in town, the staff is always friendly and the selection is second to none. I always find my Avengers/X Men I'm on the hunt for. There's also a great selection of tpb's. When I'm not stationed in San Diego, this shop is a must visit read more

Comic Book Hideout is a professional, friendly and amazing shop! I was warmly greeted by a beautifully aesthetic shop and wonderful staff. I recommend this shop to anyone interested in a comic book store to call home. Glynnes is a knowledgeable, helpful and honest businesswoman. I look forward to visiting often and telling anyone interested in superheroes and comic books about this incredible place. read more

Comic Book Hideout is metric by which all comic shops should be graded. As soon as you enter, you instantly feel at home with their atmosphere and layout being both friendly and inviting. The staff picks of the week are a great way to encourage new readership as well as to foster a connection between the staff and the consumers. What sets this place apart is not the stock nor the pricing, but rather the people working who effortlessly go out of their way to value you, your time, and most importantly your wallet. What might be a simple 2 minute silent transaction at another shop can easily turn into a 20-30 minute conversation covering a multitude of subjects related and unrelated to comic books and the culture as a whole, while also not overselling you on what you didn't want in the first place. I've regretted many purchases at other shops, but never have I regretted any shopping done at CBH. The staff is always eager to help their customers find exactly what they are looking for, whether it's a new book on the first week rack or a special request for that hard to find treasure (The Flaming Carrot, in particular). Their social media wing comes off as very genuine and endearing. They aren't trying to sell a particular product or service but rather to simply have fun at their craft and hopefully encourage the consumer to have fun and enjoy their time as well. I've been shopping at this establishment since 2012 (when they were located in a tinier building) and I can say proudly that I recommend them to any and all who are interested in buying both esoteric and mundane. They use square for their transaction which makes tracking receipts incredibly simple. As a current member of their pull lists, getting bags and boards with my pulls is a nice touch that sets them apart. 5/5 is the minimum I would give this place. read more

Absolute ! I loved this place, found a comic that I've been looking for!! Great customer service. Great presentation! I will most def come back! read more

Cura, at Comic Book Hideout, is not, I admit, very knowledgeable about comic books, but she exudes a sweet and welcoming presence. FTW, however, her partner Glynnis is not only welcoming but *very* knowledgeable about comics, even being aware of some titles I used to love that were probably published _before_ her time! (What? There *aren't* people who remember when, for 25 cents, you could by a 20 cent comic book _and_ a candy bar! Oh! You don't know what you have _missed_! ;-) ) (And ... *yes* .... I *am* that old!) I don't have the money or the leisure time to come here often, but when I do, I look forward to finding not only some really good comics but also intereacting with Glynnis and Cura! read more

Awesome place to go My girlfriend and I love the community there Yes I said community because it doesn't just feel like a business it feels like a place you can be yourself and asks questions and not feel judged. Definitely recommend. read more

This place is the best comic book shop I've ever been too! - The staff is SUPER knowledgeable and kind - Their stock has everything you're looking for - They have additional items like action figures and merch which is super cool too! read more

I'm a new regular. I mostly go for the manga but the comic selection is great. The employees are very friendly and informative. They go out of their way to help you find you what you need. They have a dog that is super sweet and docile (Honestly didn't even know she was there my first visit, she's so quiet and gentle). In reference to a certain review. I was there 5/5/2021... very inaccurate portrayal of the dog, she just walked over to the door because someone was leaving she was curious and then walked back. If anything those little girls scared the sh*t out of me and my brother when they screeched and ran around the store (scaring other customers too). I'm glad that I won't have to encounter them again seeing as they will never return. Anywho, I can't wait to come back soon for more goods :) read more

At first, I wasn't sure if liked the Hideout. The comic book stores that I'd lately been frequenting were (from my perspective, anyway) more streamlined and organized; were more eye-catching, with respect to presentation and appearance; and were more reliable when it came to having in-stock new releases and variants. Plus, other shops...well, they just seemed cleaner. In fact, the first time I'd gone to the Hideout, I'd left without even making a single purchase, and that's with my having known that their Yelp Check-in Offer would have saved me an extra 10% off my entire purchase (of $10 or more.) However, very soon after my first visit, I showed up again. And I knew why. What I hadn't appreciated previously, possibly because I'd had a strict list of comics I was adhering to, was that I'd actually enjoyed myself just rummaging through their bins and by chance coming across something. Visiting the Hideout--and this is said with all due respect--is like spending time at garage sales or swap meets, finding that comics are available, and then, because you have the time, sifting through. I think at the Hideout, you'll want to make sure you have some extra time, not exactly because their inventory is all that extensive, but maybe a little more because of the shop's relaxed attention to organization. And, again, what I mean by that is that everything isn't laid out pretty for you--exactly alphabetized, exactly numbered, or exactly sorted. If you're about filling in a few storyline gaps or simply combing through rows of comics with a bit of history behind them, crates of miscellanea await. But, now, I appreciate the Hideout: the very casual atmosphere grew on me. And I'm glad it did. Because the Hideout, regardless of my review, deserves a nod. read more

Comic Book Hideout is an impressive comic book store! They have an amazing, vast selection.. Whether it's DC, Marvel, Image, etc. they've got what you need and more. I drove around the OC area looking for certain trade paperbacks, and I was lucky enough to find them all in this gem of a store. I love everything about this store, from the atmosphere, their selection and the employees. I didn't get a chance to get the name of the kind lady that helped me, but I believe she's the owner of this fine establishment. I had a few questions and was looking for 'American Vampire Vol. 1' which was out of stock but she placed an individual order for me. She was very patient, friendly and helpful.. I could sense her genuineness and I will always appreciate that! I'm glad I found this store today, will recommend to friends/family and will be coming back. A well deserved 5 stars.. Thank you CBH! read more

So recently my girlfriend and I have been wanting to get into magic the gathering but with it being as massive as it is we were hesitant but were willing to give it a shot. We just needed to know where to start and the basics. I went to one other place first that i will not name but it was horrible there they acted like i was crazy for not knowing anything and basically told me i would be schooled by any player that played for longer. I left there quite upset. On the way home i decided to give one more place a shot and I heard that was this lovely establishment does things for magic as well so onward I went. walked through the door and was instantly greeted and asked if they could help me. I told them that my girlfriend and i was interested in magic and the guy (i cant remember his name sadly) talked to me about it and let me know what they do there and was extremely helpful. he then took me to there section where they sell there cards. I started to browse and see if there was anything i liked. he informed me about brawler, commander and the different formats. he then asked for my favorite color and a color my gf would like, then proceeded to had me 2 free decks for us to use and learn with. He told me to practice with those and then come to the pack release because that would be the best way to learn more and get more cards to learn how to play with an even playing field. I felt like i had a little whiplash. i was treated so bad at the first place and came here and i was treated by the most welcoming person that got me to feel like jumping into magic again. I will come back here for sure for that pack release and come back to browse through comics. TLDR Great service, kind, understanding, extremely helpful this is the kind of service people should strife for honestly at other stores. if anyone that works there reads this. Thank you and keep up the awesome work. read more

This is a great comic shop. I have been to this shop before a couple times to buy some comics and I love the amount of indie comics they carry because a lot of the other shops I have been to don't have a large selection compared to Comic Book Hideout. I usually buy comics every two months so I miss out on the back issues of Batman and Detective Comics from time to time. The people who work there are very friendly and are very knowledgeable about comics. I wasn't able to find some issues of Batman Rebirth but, I was able to pick up some DC Metal which was great because I couldn't find it at the other shops I went to that day. I will be coming here more often to pick up my Batman and Detective Comics issues. I would have gave a four star rating for the lack of back issues with the dc rebirth and new 52 comics but, that is something minor and understandable since they are popular right now. P.S Sometimes a husky will be walking around the shop and it is very friendly with everyone :-) read more

I've only been here twice so far and I have to say this is one of the best comic book stores I have ever visited. Its about 10 miles away from me and worth the drive even with 4 other comic book stores closer to me. This place has by far the best customer service I have ever had. I wish I could give more stars. read more

If you are looking for any comic book, this is the place to go to. There are seriously so many comics in this place that you can spend hours upon hours digging through each crate. I had talked to the owner and she noted that they even have tons more in the basement. Seriously, there are tons of comics here. The staff is very knowledgeable about their selection compared to other comic book stores i have visited--- so you can tell that comic book hideout is both organized and comic book lovers themselves. In addition to comicbooks they also sell collectibles, toys, snacks and cold beverages, and have pin ball machines. They also have a lounge for people to relax. The prices are fairly reasonable-- but I will need to come back when I have more time to look around. It's located in the heart of downtown fullerton (a little of the main strip) so parking is pretty easy to find. read more

Condescending owner who seems to think she knows "golden and silver age comics" but in all honesty she's just looking for people to take advantage of. She assumed I knew nothing of what I was attempting to sell, and offered a mediocre amount when the items were worth substantially more and she knew it. Also, I'm not sure who she's trying to impress.. but the poor acting in her posts/ videos about sales etc are PAINFUL to watch... she needs to take it down a notch. I know this is CA but not everyone has acting talent. You're trying too hard. Her responses to other negative reviews only solidifies how the owner believes she's never wrong even though she takes these reviews"seriously". Overall, I will never return or recommend. read more

Is it normal to be waiting close to 1 year for an order only to call up 3 months in, and be told to not call unless they call, 6 months later that the order no longer exists on their computer at their store so you must re-order, to then finally after another month in half get Half my order???! (Guessing computers here make a lot of mistakes cause as of right now there has been no fault admitted on the half of the workers, honestly wished they just would have told me if it was going to be this hard) Used to love this place, can literally walk there, had some awesome shows, as well as David Liebe Hart's art in the window forever. Sadly seems it's gotten a little Comic-snobby. Think I'll try somewhere else. read more

Great shop, been there many times. Visited yesterday to pick up a title that they had put aside for me. A staff member, a very nice young lady, asked what else I was looking for and pointed me to the Batman section that they had recently expanded. Found more titles and added to them to my purchase pile. It's always worth my drive from south OC to visit this store. I'll be back! read more

super dope comic book store and friendly/helpful staff! they always have variants of all comics and excellent pricing. 100% recommend!

Great place. Very classic comic book store, it's like the places I remember as a kid. Awesome inventory, great staff. A must visit for anyone who has an appreciation for current stuff as well as nostalgic about collecting comics as a kid. read more
