Rare comic books stolen in daring daylight raid

By our Art Crime Specialist Vernon Velocorapter

A series of rare superhero comic books worth hundreds of millions of dollars have been snatched in a audacious daylight raid on a Chicago comic book store.

According to a police report, an interior surveillance video tape showed three athletic masked figures dressed in brightly coloured figure-hugging spandex outfits fitted with cloaks moving stealthily around the store.


                         

After grabbing the comics – a copy of The Incredible Hulk No 1, the first Spiderman comic and a rare Superman No 1 – the three figures suddenly levitated into the air before zooming upwards through a hole in the ceiling and disappearing into the sky.An astonished onlooker said afterwards, “It was difficult to tell whether it was a bird or a plane. Everything happened so fast. It was just like the Incredibles.”

The FBI have issued an APB to the BBC in the form of a DVD using CGI which the ALR will pursue ASAP with the help of MI5, MI6, the WI, the ATG and the CIA, while SOFAA, LAPADA, SLAD and NAVA have joined forces with ARCA in the hope of winning a BAFTA.
