Plot Synopsis

COMIC BOOK MEN follows the staff, fanboys and customers at Kevin Smith's iconic comic shop, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash. Smith, an executive producer of this series, originally purchased the store in 1998 for $30,000 to fulfill his friend's dream of running a comic-book shop -- mainly because his friend wanted the discounts. Since then, the store has expanded its line of merchandise, including film memorabilia. This series marks the first time that Smith's friends are actually on-screen even though he's used bits and pieces of their personalities in his movies. In Season 2, which debuted on October 14, 2012, the series features guests like Stan Lee, who stops by the store, and Brian O'Halloran from CLERKS, who helps out for a day. COMIC BOOK MEN returned for its third season at midnight on Sunday, October 13, 2013 on AMC. In the Season 3 opener, Lou Ferrigno talks to Bryan about his weight and gives him a lesson on fitness. Other guest stars in this season included: Nichelle Nichols (Uhura from the original STAR TREK series), Jason Mewes, Brian O'Halloran, and legendary comics writer and illustrator George Perez. On Sunday, October 12, 2014 at Midnight, AMC debuted the Season 4 premiere of COMIC BOOK MEN. In the season opener, "Heir Apparent," Kevin sends his daughter Harley to the Stash to learn how to be a clerk. Meanwhile, a customer sells his rare and unusual Rocky action figures.
