Star Wars & Marvel Characters Come to the Rescue in Comicbook Store Robbery

A comic book store owner dressed as Spider-Man became a real superhero for the day when he caught an alleged thief trying to steal an X-Men omnibus. I love the part where they talk about Star Wars Jedi Knights blocking the door. I can just see them now!

Michael Baulderstone, 45, was dressed as Spider-Man as part of a fancy dress open day at comic Centre in Adelaide, Australia, confronted the man when he claims he spotted him taking the £100 book.


Security tapes show Mr Baulderstone, addressing the man before stopping him and confiscating the book. On top of that, a group of Jedi knights blocked the door to prevent him from escaping, along with The Flash.

“We had about 40 people in the shop dressed up as their favourite superheroes to celebrate International Free Comic Day,” he said.

“The thief didn’t have much of a choice but to hand the book back after a little bit of a scuffle.”

He added that customers initially thought the incident was a stunt, until Mr Baulterstone told them to call the police.

“It was a bit serious at the time, but now we’re looking back laughing at what greeted police when they arrived,” he said.
