But the captivate of a AU$160 (�97) X-Men omnibus valid as well most for one comic book fan, who motionless to trip the with pictures value in to his trek in an Adelaide bookshop on Saturday morning.
Sadly for the would-be shoplifter, he had not reckoned with the arachnid acuity of Michael Baulderstone or, some-more precisely, his CCTV cameras.
