May 5, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): It has been reported that a Spider Man seemingly caught a thief in a shop red-handed. This is not the storyline of another ‘Spider Man’ film by Sam Raimi. The Spider Man under discussion is actually the Adelaide Comic Centre proprietor, Michael Baulderstone, who had sported himself as Spidey to commemorate the International Free Comic Day.

Baulderstone apprehended a man, who was endeavoring to pilfer an X-Men compilation from the store. In keeping with the reports, Baulderstone witnessed a patron, who was behaving distrustfully. He then went to scrutinize the man. Baulderstone discovered an X-Men omnibus worth AU$160 in the shopping bag of the man.

The CCTV footage of the store captured the incident on camera. It demonstrates that Baulderstone took appropriate action quickly to seize the burglar. The gate of the store was obstructed by another male, who was dressed as Jedi Knights, in order to thwart the burglar from taking flight.

Michael Baulderstone is the 45-year-old possessor of the comic store in Adelaide. While communicating about the incident, he declared that the robber, at last, had to surrender and give away the thieved book subsequent to a short clash. He explicated that some of the clientele at the store believed that the whole event was a component of the International Free Comic Day celebration.

Baulderstone later confessed that the happening, to begin with, was moderately grave. Nonetheless, what followed was comical.
