No, no, this isn’t a story about finding comics at the 7-11. This is a story about those wacky Clerks and their arrival in the comic book world! Dante, Randall, and even Jay and Silent Bob are coming from the movie house to your house, courtesy of the man who created them - writer/director Kevin Smith - and Oni Press.

Clerks: The Comic Book #1 marks Smith’s full length comic book writing debut, as he brings the slacker mentality and profane dialogue that made clerks a cult hit to the comic book medium. Trust us - you haven’t seen GenX hip until you’ve seen Smith cut loose! In the premier issue, Randall tries to convince Dante that wealth is a matter of Star Wars collectibles. Hmm. A persuasive argument could be made, to be sure.

Illustrated by Jim Mahfood (who also recently provided art for theGeneration X one-shot), Clerks: The Comic Book promises to be an insightful look into slacker culture, a penetrating glare deep into the heart and soul of America, and a darn comical funny book. The introductory issue also features a cover by none other than Gilbert Hernandez, so what are you waiting for? Clerks has something for everybody, and with Smith at the helm, you’reguaranteed that this is one comic book that will be faithful to the original
