Garage-sale coloring book = Original ink sketches for Avengers comics = handcuffs

Isn’t buying a used coloring book kinda like buying used toilet paper?

When a McKoriginal_avengers_ink_sketch.jpeginney couple picked up a coloring book for their daughter at a garage sale, they were surprised to see what looked like sketches drawings for a comic book tucked inside. But that was just the start of the surprises.

They turned out to be oversized artboards for the original “Avengers” comic book from 1964, worth some $48,000.

But that’s not all — the sketches were also reported stolen from DFW airport earlier this year. That’s when the Washingtons were surprised again by police.

“They read us our rights, they grabbed me and put me in another room,” remembered Paul Washington. “I’m just like in shock! What’s going on, asking a lot of questions.”
