CALGARY — Police in Calgary are looking for a suspect following an assault and a theft of three rare comic books earlier this month.

Investigators say a Fantastic Four No. 1, a Fantastic Four No. 2 and a Fantastic Four No. 13  were in a man's briefcase as he left a comic-book store on March 11.

They are valued at $50,000.

Police say the man with the briefcase was grabbed by two suspects from behind, thrown to the ground and suffered minor injuries.

The two suspects fled on foot when they realized they were being watched.

Police arrested one of them when he returned to the scene, but the second man and the comics are still missing.
