Awesome local comic book store. Employees are always friendly. They have frequent artist signings. My son loves coming to pick up our monthly subscriptions. We make it a ritual to pick up our books and some musubis a couple doors down for lunch.

Love this place! Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a great selection of titles. They helped me hunt down comics that aren't as mainstream and had no problem putting them aside for me.

Outstanding service. Super knowledgeable staff. Great selection of comics. Have up to date collections of DC and Marvel, but perhaps my favorite place to check out other publishers. Have been recommended Chew, Prophet, Deadly Class, The last Ronin and others. Titles I've loved. Really happy to have found this place.

The Pasadena Collector's Paradise is much smaller than the Winnetika location that I usually visit. However, that doesn't mean that it doesn't have a lot to offer. It is packed wall to wall with plenty of inventory. And if they don't have what you are looking for, they can call one of the other 2 locations and get you what you need in just a few days. Just don't let the size of this shop fool you. Throw in a very friendly and helpful staff and you are in for a great experience from the second you walk in to when you walk out. My only complaint? It;s in a very small parking lot and shares the area with popular businesses. That means parking can be very very limited. Usually if I am going to come out to this location I do my best to get there around opening to avoid the situation all together. I'd recommend doing the same if you can.

Yesterday might be the most unwelcome I've ever felt in a comic book store - and that's including one that I went to for years that was like an abusive relationship. Long story short: There were piles of comics when I came in, I saw the back cover with something like "DC Retro" and got curious to see what it was. I didn't see the "DO NOT TOUCH THESE" signs but boy, did the guy admonish me IMMEDIATELY for daring to look at the stack. For one, why were comics out on display 3 days before their release date (and does the distributor know they're doing this?) but two, I see something shiny and interesting I'm going to look at it before I see any signs. I just thought it was very rude and made me feel ignorant and stupid upon coming in. After that, not once did the guy ask my friend and I if we could have help finding anything, nor did he say goodbye on our way out. Honestly I should have just been silent rather than apologizing, and just gone out the door. I won't be back. If you want to keep customers, at the very least don't talk to them as if they're stupid when you're the one breaking the rules. (Oh, and I should add that it was a 5 minute wait to come in because the guy working there was on a break. He was a real winner.) I totally understand that my ignorance in not seeing the sign was partly at fault, but that's no reason to be a j*** to me, and if you're the owner of the store looking to leave an abrasive response like you did to the other 1-stars, don't bother. I was an actual customer, who had tried to stop by your store every time I was in Pasadena, but never again. Also, maybe put your unsellable items somewhere folks CAN'T see them if they're so precious.

Great Store ! Almost always find the books I'm looking for, and sometimes they have signed comics at cover price!

Felt like the organization was daunting somethings like series were separated into sections that didn't quite make sense so marvels was on its own wall section and middle section same with DC. Etc... But the staff was helpful when I asked for help in helping me narrow and find what I needed there was a method to not and they know it so I was able to locate it immediately after being guided to it. Chill ambience would definitely go again when I'm stopping by.

This place is a great store for signed items (which they have plenty of) which they don't charge more than cover price. My one suggestion would be if they could take the extra second to open the books so they were signed inside the cover rather than on the cover itself so the autograph doesn't rub off over time!

You’ll love it here. They are well-stocked with current comics in near-mint condition. They also have back issues that are well worth your time to grab before they disappear. Searching for that special comic? Travel here for your needs.

Reasonable prices, well-organized, informed staff who will happily chat with customers about their preferences and recommendations. I especially commend the cashiers who are unfailingly patient with my two kids (ages 4 and 9) who love sifting through the youth comics section and aren't always great at reshelving; no Collector's Paradise employee has ever made them feel less than welcome despite their occasional disruption.

First Impressions is always priority must! When being part of a business! Generally you must add customer service. I myself , am a business owner and friends who also are brick & mortars. If the customer is right or even wrong, you must come to an understanding. I have notice how ruthless the owner may be in the comments to justify themselves ,Including how an employee are in the store. I may myself enjoy going around different LCS , and seeing the inventory, and potential of each shop. Entering here and experiencing something I have not in my life!! It was to the point, I wanted to just dropped everything in the transaction and leave of the BS! I was hearing out of this employees mouth. How can you have a "comic" on the sales floor and say I cannot purchase the item, unless I pay for the whole series and I cannot take the book home but prepay?!? And leave the book there??? What kind of scam is this? "state" that EVERYONE knows?!? I called up all my buddy's who own stores, and they were shocked on the news they were hearing. may I add Also having the Edacity to raise their voice, and being very disrespectful to a CUSTOMER! I'm not sure , if that is how you run a business or how you talk to people. But that's just not right. There are plenty of LCS around. Please stray away from this shop!! I never want to go back and do business with this place again. I understand if your not or are KNOWLEDGABLE on your inventory, and want to keep the book to yourselves and sell it for a few $$$$ more,
