How To Start A Comic Store… By Stealing From One

  • News
  • December 10, 2013

Rich Johnston reports a story that has to be read to be believed.

A few weeks ago, a few books were stolen from the store only to end up on eBay. We have video tape of a guy stealing a pile of CGC books from us – included is a Batman #251 CGC 7.0, an Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 1.0 SS and a few other books.

Well, the Amazing Fantasy #15 was sold on eBay and was sent to Florida.

The Batman #251 was apparently sold at a pawn shop earlier this week for $50.

We know who the perp is and he’s been charged – but get this – he said to me that he stole the money just so he can start his own comic book store.

The thief was so brazen and narcissistic he tweeted about the theft. Read the whole thing, particularly if you know anything about the sold Amazing Fantasy #15 pictured above.

“Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” closing $60 million in the red

a_610x408-5417218

Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark will end its Broadway run on January 4, with expected losses of $60 million, the biggest loss ever in Broadway history. New York Magazine has a breakdown on the show’s costs, both financial:

$1,300,000: Weekly production budget

$2,940,000: Gross for the week of December 25, 2011, the highest one-week take for any show ever

$621,960: Gross for the last week in September 2013

and human (five people with major injuries, including one person who required amputation).

Most disturbing to me: they spent more money on props and puppets for the show than Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko has ever seen from the creation of Spider-Man.

Tickets are available now, heavily discounted if you know where to look and are willing to brave Christmastime crowds in Times Square.

I read the book, I saw the video, and I can’t begin to explain. Just watch the video, then buy The Fox. Amazingly, the video actually captures the tone of the comic.
