Announced back in March, Kevin Smith is curating his line of comics at Dark Horse under the label Secret Stash Press, and the first comic to launch is Quick Stops. The first issue in the four-issue series launches on November 2nd and will feature writing by Kevin Smith, pencils by Jeremy Simser with Andrew Thomas lettering.
“Quick Stops is where I finally get to tell tales from across the Askewniverse that I’ve always wanted to write!” Smith said. “And even though Jason Mewes and I keep getting older in real life, in the pages of Quick Stops, our rotating roster of amazing artists will keep us both looking forever 90’s young! This has been the most fun I’ve had writing in my life because all these characters mean so much to me! I can’t wait to reach 100 issues one day! But for now, I’ll settle for Issue #1!”
So what’s Quick Stops #1 about?
In the premiere issue of Quick Stops, Chronic-Con guest of honor Holden McNeil tells Chasing Amy’s Alyssa Jones and a packed Chronic-Con crowd his story of going green with legendary loiterers Jay and Silent Bob in the Quick Stop cooler – and how it directly led to the birth of his Bluntman and Chronic comic books!
