“Cash Register Holiday Cheer” – Oni Comics has teamed up with View Askew toreunite writer Kevin Smith and artist Jim Mahfood on the new Clerks HolidaySpecial, an all-new comic book adventure presenting the Yuletide through theeyes of those who are forced to experience it more than any of us… retailclerks.

“This seemed like a natural idea,” Smith said. “Anyone who has worked behindthe counter knows what hell holiday shopping can be. So, obviously, Randal andDante are going to be looking at this season with a whole different slant.”

As in his other comic books with Oni Press, Smith uses the Clerks HoldiaySpecial to expand upon the world he has created in his films. In the originalfilm and the early comics, there has always been a mysterious door between theRST video store and the Quick Stop Mart. Only nw can it be revealed that thedoor leads to an apartment of an old man who Randal has become convinced isSanta Claus, and he’s not going to rest until Dante, Jay, Silent Bob, andwhoever else is in earshot is convinced, too.

Basically a synopsis of the 4th issue. An interesting note though, Previewslabels Daredevil # 4 as having “Massive potential, a guarenteed Top Ten hit.”

Apparently, #4 will see the appearance of a big DD baddie named Bullseye.

Being offered again for the bargain price of $6.95 is the variant cover. We haven’tseen these or had our chance to get our hands on one, but we hear it’s pretty cool!

Very cool full page ad with a blown up cover (done by Art Adams). It’s the samecover that appears over on our Clerks Comics page, but it’s made up to look like a christmascard with “Happy Holidays from Quick Stop and Rst Video” on the top and “Ho,Ho, Noonch” on the bottom.
