A comic book convention becomes a crime scene when two
robbers steal an extremely rare comic, and shoot a security
guard and bystander in the process.
When the cops arrive, Seth, a comic book enthusiast, tells them
he has doubts about the authenticity of the stolen copy as the
owner, Myles Skylar, never had it valued.
Then, rumours circulate that the comic book has been bought
on the black market for $50,000, but as the cops look around the convention, they discover there's approximately
300 fake copies up for sale.
In a bid to settle the arguments, Seth suggests the fake comics be auctioned off, and the money split between
the original author, Ross Moore, and the sellers. But Charlie has a theory about Seth and suspects he'll slip the
original copy in with the fakes and purchase it for a fraction of its value.
Together Charlie and Amita analyse the brushstrokes of various publications in a bid to pick out the real copy, and
identify the artistic traits of the forger.
Meanwhile, Charlie's book makes the bestsellers list and a journalist from Vanity Fair is doing a profile piece on
him. While Don is still reeling from his break up with Liz, Megan is trying to set Colby up on a blind date.
