Oakland’s Cape and Cowl Comics was burglarized early Saturday.

Employees arrived to open the shop for business Saturday morning to find the front door had been smashed and nearly 50 comics stolen from the high-value comic wall.
Many of the titles stolen were in CGC slabs. CGC slabs are each individually numbered, so if a slabbed book does turn up it could be traced back to Cape and Cowl. The store is working on an inventory of which issues are missing.
In case the above Facebook embed here’s the list of titles with CGC numbers as of April 28 at 5 p.m.
