The

handyman who allegedly stole $239,000 worth of rare comic books and artwork

from a New Jersey home was nabbed by cops in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning, law-enforcement sources said.

Police arrested Francesco Bove, 64, inside a home on Beach 48 Street in Seagate, the sources said.

They had been searching for him in connection with the theft that happened in July when Bove was called in to repair an unoccupied home that had water damage from a burst pipe.

The comic books — including a $15,000 “Daredevil” issue — had been in the basement in a box and were moved upstairs for safekeeping. Bove found them there, authorities said.

He used money he made from selling some of the items for a jaunt to Italy, cops have said.
