Robert Bruce, a pop culture maven who appeared on dozens of episodes of “Comic Book Men” and also served as a producer on the reality series set in a memorabilia store, was found dead in New Jersey, police said.

The 62-year-old Bruce’s body was discovered in Red Bank on Friday at the City Center Plaza Professional Records Storage Facility, NJ.com reported.

“Comic Book Men,” which ran for seven seasons between 2012 and 2018, was shot at the Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash comic book store in Red Bank.

Filmmaker Kevin Smith, who owns the store and created the series, tweeted that Bruce was “always a welcome addition to any episode of @ComicBookMenAMC, as well as a nice guy.”

“I’ll miss Rob,” Smith wrote.

Bruce’s body was found after family members became worried that he might be living in a storage unit.

Authorities are investigating his death, and don’t believe it to be the result of foul play, according to NJ.com.

Bruce was a consulting producer on 82 episodes and a cast member on 34 episodes of “Comic Book Men,” which aired on AMC. He was known on the series as the pop culturalist.

The Red Bank-born Smith, who starred on “Comic Book Men,” directed films such as “Clerks” and “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”
