Secret Headquarters

Kevin Kropp

I had a great recent experience with Secret Headquarters. I was able to purchase books that were part of a signing and they shipped them to me when they were set. Everything was packed well and they communicated very well from my initial inquiry through shipment/delivery. I will shop with them again in the future.

This place is great. The staff is very friendly and are always willing to make a recommendation if you're just looking around. If there's something they don't have in stock you can always order it through them and it comes pretty quick and they send you an email when it's ready to pickup. I don't track release dates too closely or in one case, I was unaware that a book I like was actually cancelled. The guys at SHQ told me I could get the rest of story by getting the trade paperback. I would've never known that existed without them. If your name is Dave they will ask you to sign the "Dave book". This always makes me chuckle every time I go there. They don't just sell comic books and graphic novels - they also have a great zine section and have some cool merch. I still get compliments on the mask that I bought there at the beginning of the pandemic (pictured).

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!

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