ABC News is reporting a Florida man decided to turn to stealing funny books to support his drug habit.

Suspect Jeffrey Curl has been charged with grand theft after over a ten day period he stole 1,500 comic books.  The victim claims the books are worth about $12,000.

The thief then turned around and sold about 100 comics to two local Florida comic shops.  It’s unclear as to what happened to the rest of the collection.
