Congratulations to everyone who was nominated and thanks to all the great writers who share their work with Jersey Devil Press.
The Secret Stash in Red Bank, NJ , not far from JDP's underground lair.
For those who somehow don’t know, Comic Book Men is a reality show based in JDP’s favorite, local comic book shop, Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, right here in Red Bank. The Stash rocks — both as a straight up, all around comic book shop and as a repository of all things Kevin Smith and View Askewish. Walt, Mike, and Ming are just as cool in real life as on TV — seriously, when you can stop in on a Saturday afternoon and have an extended conversation about the Seven Million Dollar Man, you know you’re dealing with professionals.
So, be sure to check out Comic Book Men when it returns on Sunday night and — if you’ve got Netflix — catch up on the awesome first season. In addition to everything else cool about the Stash, they’ve given away 300 copies of a Jersey Devil Press sampler, with great stories by Graham Tugwell, Kimberly Lojewski, Hilary Gan, y.t. sumner, and Mike Sweeney.
Thanks to Mike and Walt for that and good luck to everyone at the Stash in their new season!
Just a quick note if you’re in Central Jersey today…make sure you stop by Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash between 2 pm and 5 pm. Kevin Smith will be there signing his new book and filming a new episode of AMC’s Comic Book Men. Rumor has it the Stash might also have on hand copies of a free sampler with a few of Jersey Devil Press’ best stories by folks like Graham Tugwell, Hilary Gan, Kimberly Lojewski, y.t. sumner, and more. Be sure to pick one up and tell Kevin we said hi!
(And thanks to Walt and Mike at the Stash for being incredibly cool!)
