Clerks [Paperback]

Kevin Smith (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 26, 2001

Based on the award-winning movie Clerks, acclaimed writer-director Kevin Smith sets his legendary creations Dante and Randal -- not to mention those foul-mouthed slackers Jay & Silent Bob -- on another hilariously tawdry trail through the convenience stores of LA and beyond, laying bare the underbelly of American society! The fun and profanity comes thick and fast as Randal searches for the rarest Star Wars toys, Jay & Silent Bob go to work for Santa Claus and Dante gets thrown out of a funeral for touching up the corpse! No rancid stone is left unturned and the barbed observations fly thick and fast in this sure-to-be cult classic. Warning: Adults only!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite Possibly Too Funny For Some, March 5, 2001

By 

"lothar-the-conqueror" (Lotharvania, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clerks: The Comic Books (Paperback)

This is so funny you may laugh yourself unconscious. You may want to check with your doctor first. Composed of several episodes from the Clerks comic book series, Kevin Smith authors some of the most laugh outloud comic adventures I've ever read. Reprising the characters from the Clerks movie and guest appearances from Smith favorites Jay & Silent Bob, Clerks: The Comic Books is a highly recommended good time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Class A Comedy, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Clerks: The Comic Books (Paperback)

If you are a fan of Kevin Smith and his films you will no doubt enjoy this collection of the three comic books based on his film "Clerks". If you are easily offended though by vulgar language this may not be the book for you. The book follows the adventures of the disgruntled clerks Randal and Dante. This book is sure to keep you out of your seat, and on the floor in tears of laughter. I liked it mostly for the "lost scene" segment of the book, where it took a supposedly "cut scene" from the film clerks, and turned it into one of the funniest things I have ever read. You have to read it to belive it. So if you are a fan of vulgar comedy, or of Kevin Smith, (I suppose the two go hand in hand) then get YOUR hands on this book today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, August 6, 2000

By 

Ian Burman (Moorhead, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clerks: The Comic Books (Paperback)

This is one of my comic collection's best, along with chasing dogma. This is a very very funny comic book, with the same humor as the movie. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the funeral comic didn't make much sense in context of the movie. Why would Dante get so mad at randal if it was somewhat his fault too? The first comic in this though was well worth the price.
