More than $200,000 in vintage comics stolen from Macon, GA comic book shop

On Wednesday night there was a break in at Comics Plus, a comic book shop in Macon, GA. According to WMAZ, a local news outlet, the bandit or bandits used a crowbar to pry open the door and then disabled the alarm system by cutting out the wires and ripping it off the wall.

While the robbers made off with a safe containing $2,200 in cash, the more valuable pilfered items were the first eight issues of Justice League of America as well as the first 20 issues of X-Men. The owner of the store, Will Peavy, said that the early 1960’s issues were graded, meaning they had been authenticated and given a score based on their condition.

Peavy said the Justice League set was worth $100,000, and he told WMAZ that the X-Men set also had a “six-figure value.”
