CLERKS #1 COMIC BOOK. WRITTEN BY KEVIN SMITH
Independent filmmaker and comic book fan Kevin Smith got a lot of buzz going with the release of Clerks. This film was an irreverent look at the so-called lives of a pair of clerks at a convenience store and the adjoining video rental outlet. The dull, mind-numbing work is punctuated by customers who range from creepy to partially insane. For laughs, video store clerk Randy delights in making up ways to torture the customers, such as ignoring the posted store hours, or making customers battle for the last copy of The Mighty Ducks.
Clerks: The Comic Book, is a terribly funny continuation of the movie. Here, Randy convinces his fellow clerk to join with him in trying to corner the market on Star Wars toys. It’s rude, full of in-jokes, and all the funnier for the way it nails the fanboyish craziness surrounding the comic and toy markets.
After seeing that Steve-Dave and Walt the Fanboy are overcharging for the extremely popular Star Wars action figures because of the re-release of the films, Dante and Randal decide to start selling them. Randal is about to order a large stock from Frank Howell at Buy Me Toys when Jay and Silent Bob stop the order, saying that all their business is being drawn towards the toys instead of the weed.
