I went here over the weekend and enjoyed looking at the comic selections. Continental Comics had a…read moredecent amount of new comics, but a crap load of back issues. I was looking for Uncanny X-Men Bronze Age, they carried more than a lot of comic books stores would have. If you're looking for other back issued, I can almost guarantee they're going to have a big selection of that title. If you're looking for back issues, you should check this place out. By the way, they sell Funko's!

Came here after going here a lot in my childhood. Didnt know if the owner was that creepy and just…read moreweird back then maybe i didnt notice because i was a kid. But yeah he definitely has simpsons comic book guy condescending vibes mixed with A LOT of creepiness. Being in the store with just you and him is not pleasant. He doesnt look intimidating but you wander if theres any bodies in the back somewhere...

Possibly the best comic book store in the Valley. Been going for years, mostly on FCBD in May, and…read morethey handle that event really went despite the crowd. They also have a lot of signing events, which is pretty cool! Really appreciate that they have a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are super helpful and take time to chat with you and give solid recommendations. Been to other stores that feel very judgey and just want you out ASAP. Collector's Paradise is the complete opposite. Layout is nice and spacious giving room to browse. The sections by author took me a while to get used to. Good selection and I love that authors randomly drop in and sign copies (and the store sells them at face value).

Wow, I did not know what to expect when I came here to pick up some gifts for my friend's birthday!…read moreBut this place was a nerdy fan's paradise, indeed (this is not derogatory, I am a fellow nerd)! Super nice and helpful guy at the front (I did not catch his name, but I will be sure to get it next time!). Prices were great and the selection was nice and wide! Signed up for their book club cuz I WILL be back. Thanks for the positive experience!

I've been here 2x within a month to buy single Pokemon cards. My first time experience, the two…read moredudes working were helpful let me check out cards told me to get closer to the glass wall with their high price cards for a better look if I needed to, let me compare cards for the better of the 2 cards. 2nd visit today was amazing I was looking to fill in my 151 master set with some reverse holos and Ex's( I had already been to another shop with no luck and not a great experience) once 151 got really popular I stopped buying packs and started collecting singles. The tall guy working today made my day by letting me go through a binder of 151 unfinished master set to help complete mine it literally had everything I needed ! I also picked up some full art cards. I highly recommend checking this place out. Sealed Pokemon product is a bit high(but all the card shops are honestly ) but all the single cards are priced fair from tcg price guide. They have awesome vintage toys, rare finds and modern collectibles as well. It's fun to walk around and see what they have.

They only want your money and will do anything to obtain it by any possible dirty way possible. I left my artwork there for a few years because the Owner said would be there on collateral.

This is a really middle of the road shop for a couple reasons. To begin with positives, the…read moreselection of back issues is great. They have some stuff that other shops in the valley don't even know about. The selection of new books is great, too. They are well organized, probably the best organization i've seen in a long time at a comic shop. The negatives: prices are way too high for what are basically reader copies, and the presence of the cats in the shop negates the concept of these being "pet free books". Many of the back issues are clearly a bed for the cats, complete with destroyed bags and boards, where the very cute cats have shredded them. Despite this shop having a good stock, the asking prices on every back issue are 2-3$ higher than what I believe is fair. In addition to that, the employees are not terribly welcoming. The gentleman running the counter was downright dismissive, I didn't even get a hello when I walked in the door and made eye contact. I didn't get a single word as I browsed the stacks for at least twenty minutes. The lady working here had a conversation with my wife about the cats, and even talked to my wife about her clothes, but neither employee engaged with me whatsoever. It felt like they thought i was there to cause trouble, even when making a purchase. In addition, this shop is guilty of one of my biggest pet peeves on the planet: not selling displayed merchandise. On the front counter, two small statues were displayed, but when I asked if they were for sale, I was told they still needed to be researched. Man, do it right now, i'm holding the money in my hand for them. In a store with no other customers, and nothing pressing happening, why would you not take two minutes to check the item price on ebay, or even better yet, decide for yourself what seems like a fair price instead of turning away a paying customer? If the item isn't for sale, take it off the sales floor. Stock is excellent, organization is excellent, prices are not good, and customer service is decidedly bad. It feels like the male employee is either suspicious of everything, or gatekeeping the hobby for some reason. I did not feel welcome here.

It's one of the larger comic bookstores in the San Fernando Valley. You can sometimes find a 2-3 month old raw book still at cover price on the stands. You can tell this shop is run by people who truly care about comics and their clients. Highly recommend for both casual readers and serious collectors. The prices are very reasonable.

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.

Huge stock of gaming supplies. Games Workshop, Magic the Gathering Pokémon, DND, numerous board games, Star Wars minis. Large inventory. Phil the owner is super friendly. Play area is also very spacious. Looking forward to returning to use my store credit to get some Lord of the Rings products when the mtg set launches. They also have a smaller but also great location in Santa Clarita called Paper Hero's Comics. More comic books and collectibles but also a good amount of gaming stuff, just in a smaller scale. I've never been to their other Paper Hero's Games in Santa Monica, I believe it's as big or bigger but can't say much else about it.

Allen especially took the time to talk with us about his collection and listened to our collecting journey. The store truly has a little bit of everything- Pokémon cards, Star Wars memorabilia, Spider-Man cards, figurines, comic books, vinyl records, and many unique memorabilia. Whether you are a serious collector or simply enjoy browsing nostalgic treasures, there is plenty to discover. There is also ample parking, and the inviting atmosphere makes it a place we would happily return to. Highly recommended for collectors and anyone looking for a fun, friendly shopping experience! Thanks Allen for the Pokemon and Spider-Man cards :)

They pointed me in the right direction when I was looking for age appropriate toys for my son. The store itself is very organized and it's easy to get around. There were so many options of toys and activities of all ages. Half of the store was also supplies and instruments for teachers. It was so fun to explore! I got my son a piano toy, a harmonica and a drill/screw toy. He loves them all! Forewarning, prices here are a little higher than what you would find near Amazon but they do have specials and sales. Plus you're supporting local! It was seriously so fun to take my son here and shop. I can't wait to return when he gets a little older to explore more of what they offer for older kiddos!
