Christopher Caulkin acquired costumes at Custom Costume Creators by the Civic Center.

He, clad as Captain Comet and his charming companion, Catwoman, cruised cheerfully to Comic Con in a cab.

Suddenly, a cacophony of screeching tires shattered their serenity as two cosplay criminals, costumed as Captain Cold and Captain Nazi, carjacked their cab.

Caught off guard, Chris and his fiancée cowered, clutching their costumes.

Courageously, Chris concocted a cunning plan, covertly contacting authorities on his cell phone.

With a clamor of sirens, cops cornered the criminals, curtailing their caper. Chris and his cherished Catwoman emerged unscathed, celebrating their comic escapade.
