Spider-Man Robs Comic Book Store
Security camera footage taped a robber dressed up as Spider-Man stealing rare comic books from a store in Culver City, Calif., Tuesday, according to KCBS-TV News.The issue that was Spidey's first appearance, Amazing Fantasy No. 15, X-Men No. 1 and Fantastic Four No. 1, all valued at around $2,500 apiece, were among the comics stolen by the webhead.
KCBS-TV's Suzie Suh reported that the webslinger entered the store at about 11:30 a.m. — but a fan dressed up in partial costume didn't seem unusual to employees there.
"He's wearing a Spider-Man mask, he must like super-heroes," Alan Gardner of Dream World Comic Books told KCBS-TV.
The sudden supervillain fled on foot after busting open a glass display case protecting many of the more valuable items with a hammer.
Security tapes show the same person entering the store Sunday, and police are studying the footage, store owners said.
