This place has so many books to choose from, and the booksellers are AWESOME!! Very knowledgeable about the various series and they have interesting independent publications that I've never seen before. If you answer trivia, you may be able to score some more comics! Also, their intern is an absolute delight! We'll be back!

Spero's Heroes is a fantastic comic book store that definitely brought out my inner geek. The staff were kind, enthusiastic, and friendly. They were very accommodating to my gf and myself and their 4 legged team member was very cute. The selection was rather vast and all fairly priced. The team was even super generous enough to provide us with the opportunity of winning an issue, after successfully answering a trivia question :) The team informed me that they were also in the process of expanding their manga catalogue and even asked for some suggestions of what I would like to see which shows how they value their customers' opinions and feedback. I think it goes without saying that with the experience I had, I will most definitely be back to peruse for old classic comics!

I have been driving past this place a couple of times and my boyfriend and I finally decided to check it out. It was very welcoming and had plenty of selections such as marvel, stars wars, you name it! The staff was very helpful with finding exactly what we needed, we will be definitely coming back! It was very affordable and had fair prices. The best part was the trivia game at the end, make sure you answer correctly if you want a special prize!! The star of the store was definitely their employee Amy these employees definitely value their customers. Thank you again Spero's Heroes Comic Book Store!!

We visited Spero's as part of our Southern California road trip, and it was without a doubt the highlight of our trip. My husband likes oldish comics in readable condition, so when he saw that they had an entire ROOM of $1.00 comics he was overwhelmed, then thrilled. The boxes are all sorted and labeled to make it easier to find what you like. We had a great time searching and my husband went home with a whole box full of comics, but the best part was visiting with the staff. They are so friendly, so much fun, so kind, the type of people you want to just hang out with all day. They have an impressive collection of really valuable comics that they brought down to show us, just for fun, which was really cool. This is a great comic shop and we're really glad we found it.

I have never felt more like family in any other comic shop I've visited. The staff welcome you warmly every time you visit, give tours, point out new books, and even invite you to play a trivia game at the counter with a chance to win free books every time you check out. One of the things that stand out to me which is not very common among most shops is the diversity in the staff. They represent diverse ages, genders, and backgrounds which lead to plenty of lively conversations. I couldn't say enough good things about this shop. They have a forever customer in me.

Nice staff but be careful if you're female. I went there once on a Comic Book Store Crawl on Devonshire with my dad and I think I was looking for a Daredevil comic book and they had me almost look in the back and were kind of pushy with their sales pitch. Honestly, if you're a female comic book reader go down the street to We Can Be Heroes which has a Coed staff as opposed to all male

Friendliest comic book store staff in California! Elliott, Reza, Kevin & Loki are always upbeat and make Spero's a fantastic destination spot. Come for the awesome selection of vintage comics, stay for the often hilarious conversations with the staff. Thanks, all!

My wife took me to Spero's a few months back for my birthday. We planned on spending thirty minutes hunting for comics but ended up spending over two hours there taking to some of the kindest and caring people we've met, Reza, Elliott and Loki. Since that first stop, I've visited hidden on multiple occasions and just redeemed my first stamp card at their Halloween event!Although they have great comics and get fresh produce weekly, it's the people that keep me coming back. Reza runs the store like its his own and treats every customer like they're a guest in his home. Kevin is a wonderful conversationalist and always shows genuine interest in whatever I'd like to talk about. Loki is the shop's secret weapon as she fills the room with energy and laughter. Last but certainly not least, Elliott, the godfather, is responsible for creating this special culture that keeps me and so many others coming back. You can tell he loves comics, but he loves people more than anything.If you're looking for comics, this is the place. If you're looking for comics and an LCS that will capture your heart, look no further than Spero's.

My son has been wanting to come here for weeks, and we finally made it happen today. The inventory at this place is great, but what made it extra amazing are the people who work here. They connected with my son and were so engaging with him. They have a trivia game where if you answer a question correctly they will give you a free comic, which my son loved. They really go out of their way to make your visit great. My son left the shop saying, "see!! I told you it was worth the drive!!". We will definitely be back.

I stopped by the shop yesterday while killing some time in Chatsworth. I had never been before and I am sorry i have been missing out on this great shop all my life. The staff was awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I particularly want to shout out Kevin who helped me dig through the crates to find an old 80s Transformers issue I needed to plug a hole in my collection. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a shop with a great selection of back issues and toys. Fair prices and friendly staff.

If you’re looking for a GREAT comic book store on LA, you need to check out Spero’s Heroes. Great selection and very knowledgeable folks. You really feel welcome in the store, just like chatting with old friends. I spent 3+ hours with my wife in the store today and the time flew by. Definitely give them a chance.
