About

Raised from the ashes where the classic comic book store Gibiteria once stood, Loja Monstra opened in 2018 and offers a wide range of comics, from weird independent comics to the most classical and famous ones. This place is not only a shop but also a meeting point where every once in a while they host meet and greets with illustrators and authors, among other cultural events.

The shop has a unique look with pop culture references from B-Movies to 60s monsters, with paintings on the wall and windows that were created exclusively for the Loja Monstra. They also have a wide range of products featuring the iconic drawings that decorate the place.

Loja Monstra is open almost every day, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. You can often find the owner Guilherme Lorandi there greeting the customers and bouncing around the store, ready to recommend a comic or just chat.
