Airing Date Scheduled for Kevin Smith's Comic Book Men

Film director Kevin Smith’s new reality, comic book-love show will air on AMC starting this February, according to a video ad posted online recently.

The show, which is called Comic Book Men – the tentative title “Secret Stash” was used prior to settling on a permanent one – was shot in Smith’s Broad Street Red Bank comic book shop, also called , and has been billed as a Pawn Stars of sorts, but for comic book fans, of course.

Ming Chen, the webmaster of Smith’s View Askew website, posted two short promo clips for the new series, both of which show off Secret Stash interiors, on his YouTube channel Jan. 1.

The first show will air on Feb. 12. According to AMC, the reality show will capture the world of a neighborhood comic shop and fanboy culture. The first season will be comprised of six, one-hour episodes.

Red Bankers have been curious about the goings on inside of Secret Stash ever since a production company blacked out the window and put up a hand-scrawled “” sign, ala the movie Clerks, in the window, along with a tiny, less noticeable flier releasing you of all your rights should you happen to step foot inside the shop.

The show was shot throughout the fall and drew a crowd at one point as a vintage arrived on scene to film a segment.

Smith is perhaps best known for his often Jersey-centric work, including his indie debut Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Mallrats, among others.
