• Oni Press is currently holding a charity auction at Ebay to benefit the American Red Cross. There’s a TON of great items out there, but this one might be of key interest to you – Phil Hester donated his original thumbnails to the Clerks The Lost Scene comic book. You can get your bids in or check the status of the auction by clicking HERE. The thumbnails are at $200 with 4 days to go at this point, so you still have plenty of time to get in there with a bid. Not only is this a fantastic View Askew item, but it’s a great cause to donate to. Don’t miss your chance to own these.

Surf over HERE for a link to all of the auction items that Oni’s got going on right now, it’s an impressive list. Donate to a GREAT cause and get a one-of-a-kind collector’s item to boot, get those bids in today, and good luck!

• According to the new issue of PREVIEWS, they’re now soliciting the famous “Mallrats” Brodie Shirt. That’s right, the mystery blob you’ve hungered for these many years. Available in L, XL, and XXL. It’s a replica of the shirt Jason Lee wore in ‘Rats, but the face looks a bit more distorted, like the version of it he wears in J&SBSB.

Also, Kevin seems to have contributed an intro to a special Toy Fare collection out in August that features the best of the mag’s “Twisted ToyFare Theatre.”

• Here’s a BIG scoop from the UK Internation Toyfair, weeks before things debut in New York City at their own Fair in a couple of weeks.

The folks at DIAMOND have information sheets on new original toys from View Askew! The sheets feature the Vulgar the clown logo and the following information:

Okay, sure, the sheets are vague and don’t provide details, but it certainly sounds like we’ll be seeing not only 2 new Jay and Bob figs, but more! We hope to have more info on exactly which characters will get the action figure treatment and all the extra goodies that come along with them. Stay tuned!

• Well folks, chalk this item up as one of those we’d LOVE to own copies of, but it’s just a bit too rich for our blood! This is one of those extremely way cool collector’s items that the die hard fan just HAS to own, though, at any price. Yep, it’s the long-awaited Daredevil Visionaries hardcover. This item is presented beautifully, signed, numbered, and contains every amazing frame from Kevin’s initial Daredevil run. Here’s the full details from View Askew:

If anyone gets a copy of this, and we’re sure some of you won’t be able to resist, let us know what you think of it, or just use the TalkBacks. We might hafta go try and beg Graphitti to send us a couple copies for review. 😉

• Here it is, folks…A TON of super cool new stuff to bid on at eJay, the View Askew auction site! Our favorite items this time around? Gotta be that authentic Buddy Christ pendant, the USA Today, and that hockey jersey. Good luck!

• Kevin was pleased to announce that both the Banky Caps (a long awaited item back from the Chasing Amy days) and the Buddy Christ dashboard statues have arrived at the stash! These beauties are now available for purchase through the Stash’s online web site or, as always, by phone and in person. Don’t miss out on these two much-requested items!

• As usual, the gang’s put up some very unique and rare items up for your bids on eJay this week, including a big surprise item — The pilot for the terrible LIVE ACTION Clerks TV pilot (a true rarity, and one we’d love to see ourselves), original art used in Mallrats, some one-of-a-kind Dogma props, and more. Get out those checkbooks or credit cards, and best of luck to ya. Here’s a rundown of the items (eJay has much more detail, and scanned photos of each item, of course):

• Here’s the list of new/rare items posted for your bids at eJay, the View Askew auction site. The newest list includes another Mallrats book, Bethany’s purse from Dogma (complete with contents), a way cool Clerks cartoon staff shirt (with one of our personal favorite quotes from an unaired Clerks episode), and, our favorite of the bunch, the Idiosyncratic Routine prop book that Joey Lauren Adams scribbled on repeatedly in her signing scene at Chasing Amy’s end. We predict that one will go for big bucks. There’s more, too, so good luck, bid wisely…Bidding on this group closes on June 19th.

And before you ask, no, the girl’s not available on the auction block.

• Continuing with the flurry of web board activity, Bryan Johnson stepped in from the shadows to report on an item that’s been highly requested by folks for over the past 2 years now. Very soon, you’ll be able to own a hat just like Banky’s in Chasing Amy! Here’s Bryan:

• Yep folks, eJay, the View Askew auction site, just keeps getting cooler and cooler. Makes us two lowly webmasters here wish WE had the spare cash to start throwing out some bids on this cool stuff. Here’s what was just added only moments ago:

The Bob shirt, one of two, is totally authentic and a real collector’s item…not that the other stuff isn’t just as cool, as
it’d be WAY cool to add one of those overseas posters to the game room wall…but folks are already really throwing down some
major dollars for that shirt. Get in on that action, and lots more, over at eJay.

Coming soon to eJay, according to Kevin: Original comic cells from Rats & Amy, IFFM Clerks Posters, more Rats books, and maybe even a WAY cool Clerks poster: One signed by almost the entire main cast. WOW.
