Two retailers have reported that comics were stolen from their tables at Fan Expo Chicago, which took place in Rosemont, Illinois, on August 10-13, 2023.
On August 12, Reece’s Rare Comics posted on Facebook that a copy of Hulk #1 was stolen from their wall at Fan Expo. The comic was in a slab with a CBCS grade of 1.8 (CBCS Cert: 22-12EE6CE-001), but the comic may have been cracked out of the slab. It has a penciled “3/6” in the U on the cover and is signed by Stan Lee on the interior.
After hearing about that theft, another retailer, Terry O’Neill of Terry’s Old School Comics checked his inventory and found a number of Golden Age DC Comics titles missing, according to a report in Scoop. O’Neill believes the theft occurred on August 12 between 12 and 2 p.m. The stolen comics are low grade copies of Action Comics #5, #70, #174-175, #181-182, #189, #194, #200, and #212, and Adventure Comics #62, #126, #146, and #249.
Both retailers have filed reports with the Rosemont Police Department. Anyone with information about the stolen comics can reach out to them at (847) 823-1134.
