It happened Saturday around 5:55 a.m. at Tails to Astonish on California Avenue SW inRight now, the owners of the comic store are busy taking inventory of the stolen goods and working to reopen.
"We caught them on camera," said owner Shaun Duff. "The door was just splintered, and they cleaned out the top shelves and even took boxes of comics.""There were four comics that were signed by Stan Lee," he said. "We also had a lot of first appearance comics." Saturday’s burglary comes as a double blow to the business which has been serving West Seattle comic book lovers since 2021.According to reports, the first incident involved thieves coming in through a back door of the store.
"In that case, they broke the glass and took all the books inside and the cash drawer," said Shaun. "This time, they came through the front and took high-priced items. Someone in the group knew what they were doing.""My hope is maybe they’ll take the comics to some local comic book stores and, if we get the list out to people, perhaps someone will see something they recognize as being stolen from us," said Shaun.The store plans to reopen on Tuesday.
"This doesn’t stop us from loving what we do. There’s enough people in this neighborhood, there’s enough good out there that it’s not going to shut us down, but it does hurt," said Nicole.
