Who better to develop a show about comic book lovers than someone who knows? Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy), aka Silent Bob, recently put the call out to fellow comic book geeks to congregate at his comic book shop, The Secret Stash, in Red Bank, NJ to audition for his newest project.

Smith sought out people who are not actors:

“He’s looking for real people who live and breathe the comic book lifestyle. Must be funny outgoing and have a knowledge and passion for comics, superheroes, movie memorabilia and everything that goes with it.”

The post went on to add memorabilia dimension to the call:

“We’re also looking for people in the Tri-state area with cool, unique, rare, or otherwise awesome comic book/movie memorabilia. It’s Pawn Stars for Fanboys, and if you have something to sell/trade/or value, we want you to bring it to us!,”

A three-day shoot was planned to commence on June 14, 2011. This new television show will be aired on AMC.
