Comic studio and shop in Poljanska 11
Striparna Stripolis is the only specialized comic book store in the center of Ljubljana, offering a wide selection of domestic and international comics—from cult classics to indie releases—as well as an extensive collection of fanzines, graphic novels, and illustrated books.
More than just a shop, Stripolis is a meeting point for comic enthusiasts. It hosts new release presentations, exhibitions, author meet-and-greets, and workshops, giving visitors an opportunity to dive deeper into the art of comics. Passionate about visual storytelling, Stripolis actively nurtures the comic scene and fosters creativity among both emerging and established artists.
They are also co-organizers of the Tinta Festival, Ljubljana’s premier comics festival.
