In somber news, Brian Jacoby, the owner and Mastermind of Secret Headquarters, passed away suddenly on Thanksgiving evening. Brian’s passing will leave a huge hole in the Tallahassee community that will likely never quite be filled. Brian was a passionate advocate and supporter of comics, games, and much more. He truly lived up to his shop’s tagline of “Comics and Games for EVERYONE!” Bright, airy, clean and organized, with a children’s area, and with table space to play games, the shop was a reflection of Brian’s attitude of inclusiveness. It didn’t matter if you were a Tolkien scholar who could argue the minutia of Middle Earth, a comic book fanatic who knew the origin story of every obscure comic book superhero, or you were absolutely new to the world of fantasy, sci-fi, comics, and gaming, you found a welcoming place at Secret Headquarters. I have never been in a store quite like it or that had an owner quite like Brian…the combination was near perfect.
Brian will be sorely missed by so very many.
