Comic Book Men is a one-hour unscripted television series set inside Kevin Smith's comic book shop Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank, New Jersey. The series is set to run for six episodes,[1] the first of which aired on February 12, 2012, following the return of The Walking Dead's second season on AMC.[2]

Each episode of Comic Book Men is accompanied by a companion podcast, titled The Secret Stash, which is hosted by the SModcast network. Each podcast episode lasts approximately 30 minutes, and features more of the cast's discussion than is shown being recorded during the show.[3]

Bryan, Ming and Mike compete to sell off some of the shop's excess stock at the Collingwood Flea Market in Farmingdale, New Jersey. Walt appraises a sketch of Batman drawn by Bob Kane, and customers of the Stash attempt to sell various items to the staff, including a "life-size" doll of Chucky from the Child's Play film series, a vintage figure of Steve Austin from The Six Million Dollar Man, and a set of Dawn of the Dead promotional lobby cards, prompting the staff to consult with the show's first expert guest, popculturist Rob "Jack's Guy" Bruce.

A customer arrives at the shop in a replica of the Batmobile from the 1966 TV series, Walt shows interest in a budding artist's self-published comic, a would-be director looks to sell some of his comic collection to help fund a movie, and the authenticity of a lightsaber hilt prop is assessed by Star Wars expert Kevin Liell.
