What a remarkably beautiful icon of a comic store. From the floors, to the ceiling, from all the way and back to the entry, it's a smorgasbord for the senses of an enthusiast. On display were several rare comics. One of which was a #1 Mystery in Space from April-May of 1951, $5999! The grading must be about 9.1? At any rate they didn't have what I was looking for. I could special order it... But as I mentioned to he who i presume was the owner, I prefer to wander in and just find it somewhere. Too easy to just order and wait. So why does it deserve five stars which is rare for me. Because itself, it is rare indeed to walk into such a beautiful store. Users of Yelp can get 20% off their first check in. That's pleasantly generous.

House of Secrets Comic Book Store is located in Burbank, California. Great place to visit especially if you are in for a treat of a huge selection of hard to find back issues of Comic Books, Magazines, Trade Paperbacks, and Many More Pop Culture Novelties! If you are in awe with how the store is set up upon entering, you have to check the two secret rooms at the side and at the back (trust me, a lot of harder-to-find comic books and magazines are kept on the and easily browsable on tons of long comic book storage boxes). Overall a great place to shop for Comic Books! Highly Recommended!

Such a cool place! For comic collectors by collectors!

Yo, this place is of the hook! If you're a comic fan, then this place is the place for you! It really is a gem of a place! They have so much displayed that you know that this place is owned by collectors for collectors! They have tremendous works of comic art on every square inch of the place....even the ceiling! Check out the window panes in the back left room, so cool! See you here!

Sooo manyyy comicsss

The only reason I waited so long to check out this place is because I had read some of the reviews that said the employees were crabby or what have you. This place is great! Tons of comics, from mainstream to alternative, and cool decor with posters and figurines and a floor with comics on it. No one gave me a hug when I walked in but I didn't expect one either. I'll definitely go back.

While their Winnetika location is my local shop, I always try to stop by the NoHo Collector's…read moreParadise whenever I'm in the area. The staff is beyond friendly and, even though this location is small, it has a fantastic array of comics and other collectables. Even with my pull list at their other location, I always find something I have to pick up on my quick visit. They also have fantastic signings here throughout the year so there's a good chance that you can meet either one of your favorite writers or be introduced to your next obsession. My only complaint isn't even their fault & it's the parking. Like most of this area of NoHo, it's all limited street parking with meters or you're going to have to cross your fingers that you can find something in the residential streets in the area. But honestly, it's worth it. If you live in the area and are looking for your new favorite neighborhood shop, this is it.

This is one of the most elitist comic book shops in the city. The staff are dismissive at best, and…read morethat is if they acknowledge you at all. The stock is about what you would find in any other comic shop, with the added benefit of being more expensive. I came in today, a Monday, to shop back issues, but the back issue bins were blocked, and covered in the new comics due out on Wednsday, with big signs thwt say "do not touch". I would guess this is why every other comic book shop on the planet has limited or no hours on TUESDAY to prepare Wednesday books. Either way, 25% of the store, you know the stuff collectors want, is unavailable to even shop. There are better and more hospitable shops in Burbank.

One of my favorite activities is searching through long boxes for the lost gem or issue you need to complete the run. I also understand that they take up space and don't bring in as much money as cards/games. They have a discounted trades section which is nice and a little display case for some of the big boy books. There is a QR code to look at their full selection. Can park across the street in giant lot then walk around downtown Glen-Dale(Pitbull)

Also, please refer to market on tcg player or any other store around for market pricing. Also I went to a store 1.5 miles from you guys and was able to get mega dreams for $85. I would strongly suggest you review you pricing and consistency. Thank you I bought Pokémon cards and comic books. On my first visit, the staff were friendly and helpful. One of the workers even called the owner to work with me on pricing and was able to bring it down to fair market value at the max price while still honoring the store's point system. Even though prices were generally higher than other local shops, the experience felt fair, and I spent over $1000. I came back the next day excited to buy more. The owner did not raise prices, but he refused to give me the same pricing he approved the day before and removed the point rewards that were previously honored, with no clear explanation. I was not asking for a deal, a discount, or special treatment. I am not a scalper. I openly collect and open cards. I was simply asking for fair market pricing, even at the max market value. They told me they price at market value and showed me a specific site. That same site showed lower prices, yet I was told those higher prices are just their prices, despite knowing other stores nearby sell the same products at normal market value. I still spent close to $700 on the second day, but when the cashier asked if I wanted a receipt, it honestly hurt to say no because I knew I would not be coming back. I did make sure to tell the cashier this was not on him. He was genuinely kind and helpful, and I thanked him. Summary of issues: 1. Prices consistently above online and local market. 2. Inconsistent pricing and point system from one day to the next. 3. Point rewards removed without explanation. 4. Claiming market pricing while refusing to honor it. I truly thought I found a great shop during my travels, but after this experience, I will not be returning.

If you haven't gone here you need to go. I wish I stayed there longer, but I was on a strict schedule. The atmosphere is creative and welcoming, with a cool artistic vibe that makes browsing so much fun! The staff clearly knows their stuff and are passionate about books and art. The store was super clean , well organized and easy to navigate through, when with such uniqueness. Overall experience was so unique, I wish i had more time to enjoy the cafe, games and books. Plan on staying here for at least an hour. I love this place! Found it by accident.

I was disappointed to see record stores have dried up, but when I looked up comic book stores, this was near the top, and close to where I had lunch. Street parking is fairly easy, and I didn't realize that the first door I passed was another entrance to a café looking area. However, the main entrance was a visually impressive experience in its own right. Full of stimuli basically, that's assured at Revenge of... (the Nerds? Supes?). Love the name! In addition to comics and usual toys and nicknacks, I was delighted to find not one, but two areas devoted to pinball machines! Additionally, the interior design evokes lots of classic (e.g. Silver and Bronze Age) artwork. X-Men and Spider-Man definitely influenced the architectural approach. It's impressive and lends a fun vibe, as well as atmospheric lighting. Two café counters in different areas allow for drinks to be purchased, and lots of nooks and crannies have things ranging from vinyl records, board games, a discounted graphic novels area, as well as recent comic titles and weekly releases (typically on Wednesdays). The back issues are found in X shaped fixtures and spaced in a clever arrangement that simultaneously encourages and enhances browsing, and yet doesn't clutter the walking areas. I found several missing issues for my Conan the Barbarian run, and everything is bagged and boarded (archival terms), so that's good. I didn't explore the pinball machines as I was pressed for time, but I definitely see myself visiting when I'm nearby in the future.
