Jersey comic book store to be featured on AMC …
Kevin Smith bought a comic book store in 1997 that he renamed Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. The Red Bank, New Jersey store will be featured in a six-episode unscripted AMC reality series.
Secret Stash will be executive produced by Smith, who has been tasked with capturing the world of the neighborhood comic book store–which happens to be one of his areas of expertise.
AMC programming exec. Joel Stillerman observed, “It’s this place where everybody knows your name and you can go and geek out with like-minded people.”
Smith paid $30,000 for the business 14 years ago and relocated it to a bigger location two years later. The store on 35 Broadway Street in Red Bank has become an international travel destination for comic book fans.
