Adelaide has got some... characters... in it.
I'm surprised they didn't mention Spiderman's hobby: murdering Backpackers on the weekends.
Oh, how original. Because no one ever gets murdered in Sydney... NSW may have 5 times more people than SA, but it has 7 times the murder rate.
But on topic: I heard about the story later that day, but I sadly opted to go to Adelaide's other main comic book store for free comic book day, and missed out on witnessing the scene first-hand.
All I know is that Wolf Creek was a seriously grim film. Was that near Adelaide? OT, do you think the crook knew the value of the comic he was taking? Not ever being a collector (Our household didn't really have the spare income for comics, imagine Oliver twist with a NES) I wouldn't know a $150 comic if it bit me on the arse.
Off topic: The murders Wolf Creek is loosely based on took place in the Northern Territory and New South Wales, so no, not near Adelaide. And Wolfe Creek, the place, is even further away in Western Australia. It was filmed in South Australia though, I think.
On topic: Having been to that comic shop, I'm guessing it might have been one of the Absolute Sandman collections, like this http://www.dccomics.com/vertigo/graphic_novels/?gn=6109 They're big books though, so if that was what he tried to steal, I really don't know how he expected to conceal it and get away with it.
Also, to those confused about what Free Comic Book Day actually is, it's an annual event where comic publishers put out special free issues of comics, often promotional ones for popular or upcoming series or reprints of first issues. And while many stores will have sales on during Free Comic Book Day it doesn't mean it's store-wide five finger discount day. It's just meant to promote comics to a wider audience.
