Why do some women hate comic book stores?



Some say that women hate comic book stores (for the most part) because we're not exactly the right demographic. But a few women do like comic books and apparently there is a bunch of women who like them a lot, so much so that they decided to help themselves to a rare comic book and several action figures (lord knows we can't call them what they are: toys). The Naperville Sun reports that four heavyset white women entered the Graham Crackers Comics store on Rickert Drive on Feb. 8 and were later seen on surveillance tape moving around the store as a set. One women opened a case and began removing the comic book and the action figures and the other women stashed the objects in their coats. Employees in the store were waiting on other customers and were unaware of the theft until two days later when they realized several items were missing and reported the theft to police. The haul was valued at over $1200. This was the second time the shop had been robbed; the first time was in December of 2007.

Apparently the Green Lantern was too busy to fight crime on this day.
