Relatives of David Bonner often commented that he 'lived in a fantasy land', but his latest purchase reveals how detached from reality he's become.</p> <p>Bonner's mother, Sandy, found the comic under his bed when cleaning his room. When confronted, Bonner admitted that he'd bought it from someone who was 'wearing a costume a bit like Batman'. He claims he was bullied into handing over his cash, or face 'an ass kicking'.</p> <p>Bonner's parents are worried that their son has absolutely no concept of the value of money. "Only last week we had to stop some bigger boys selling him a load of Manhattan apartments", admitted his father. "David's never been able to say 'no' to suites." </p>
