Ever Steal A Comic?

Details Welcome!

1. Accidentally placing the first STARMAN trade among a haul from the quarter bin.

2. Dating a store employee can prove quite beneficial with regard to one's weekly haul.

3. (ahem)flexmentallo(ahem)

Ah homme, I was about to say NON!!! if you hadn't stipulated the CBR thing.

R BAEZ - willing to induce guilt trips!

FLEX MENTALLO was the first comic I ever stole. Then I bought it. Does that count?

The stain on your soul simply grew to a lighter tint - no taint can ever be fully dispersed, my son.

Is this what Catholic guilt feels like?

UH, YEAH...

Days like this I'm glad I'm agnostic.

1. Flex Mentallo and many more (via Hitler and/or Gmail).

2. 2000AD or some Marvel UK title from the local cornershop, either 'cause I forgot to bring enough change, or I wanted a lemonade sparkle too, or something similar. (C'mon, EVERYONE DID IT OCCASIONALLY).

3. Working in a non-comic-bookstore. "Borrowed" Superman/Batman (as staff are allowed to do), but, um, forgot to return it. Should've stolen something better.

4. Freebies from PR people. ("I promise I'll review the new $30 Tezuka book, honest."

Having said that, my mate Simon stole all my Madness LPs (years to collect!) when I was in sixth form, so karmically, I'm probably even.

Shoplifting was a sport in middle school. We started on Spider-Man and graduated to P1ayb0y all in one summer.

I used to shoplift lots of comics when I was a teenager, I think 1/3 of my comics collection is from those days. But I only stole from the big book stores, not from Ye Local Comic Shoppe, if that makes it any better. The way it was, I was a poor teenager, and the collections and albums cost quite a lot, especially if they were imported from the US.

Bastard!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

76% of respondents admitted to felonious comics activity? This should be I Love Stealing Comics instead!!

24% didn't choose to parade about self-righteously! Thanks!

So who's the other shoplifter?

Oh yeah, I guess it's Huck, should've read more carefully.

best thing about shoplifting comics in the early 90s--resale value = 100% profit!
Number of Slurpees paid for by pink covered LOTDK #1: 7

My wife's excited about having access to my computer (and big-ass monitor) while I'm gone so she can read CBRs all day for eight days.
