Clerks: The Comic Book

Clerks: The Comic Book, a single-issue special from Oni Press in 1998, brings Kevin Smith’s signature slacker humor to the page with Jim Mahfood’s kinetic, graffiti-style art. It stands as a quick, self-contained snapshot of the director’s early film universe, capturing the witty, pop-culture-laced banter of the original movie in a compact comic format. While brief, it’s a key artifact for fans of Smith’s View Askewniverse, preserving the spirit of the Quick Stop Groceries in a medium that complements its creator’s talky, character-driven storytelling.
