Comic book shops in Fortaleza

The map for Fortaleza, Ceará's comic shops is still blank. Our search covered roughly 40 km around Fortaleza, looking through OpenStreetMap for comic shops, and turned up nothing mapped so far. Blank maps are usually a mapping gap rather than a real gap. This page refreshes daily from the latest map data, so a blank today can be a full guide tomorrow.

Singles, trades, and the difference

Single issues are the weekly ritual — Wednesdays, pull lists, the wall of new releases. Trades (collected editions) are the economical way to read full runs. Back issues are the archaeology. Most readers mix all three, and most shops serve all three.

Fortaleza sits near the equator. There's no real off-season for comics here — new issues land every Wednesday year-round, and the ritual doesn't care about weather.

When Fortaleza's shops do get mapped, ask about subscriber discounts on day one — regulars should never pay full price quietly.

Comic smarts for Fortaleza

No mapped comic shops yet, but the comics habits work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Check for a loyalty programme. Stamps, points, store credit — regulars should ask. The shop wants to keep you; let them.
• Keep them out of the sun. UV fades covers fast. A sunny shelf is a slow-motion disaster for a collection.
• Bag and board your finds. Acid-free bags and backing boards cost pennies and save collections. Shops sell them; buy them there.
• Visit on Free Comic Book Day. First Saturday in May. Free comics, creators, costumes — the best day to discover a new shop.

The kind of shop that belongs here

Somewhere you can pull a weekly list and dig long boxes: a proper comic shop. Not a bookstore shelf — the real thing.
