310 - Velvet Collar, Unhappy Endings with Bryan Knight

This week, Danny Cruz talks with Bryan Knight (twitter.com/BryanKnight66) about rentboys and comic books. Bryan is the author of a new 9-part graphic novel series called Velvet Collar. With bright colors illustrated by Dave Davenport and vivid stories, Velvet Collar tells the story of a group of male escorts after a raid on an advertisement listing site. Bryan shares his vision for the work and how readers can get involved. You can find Episode One: Unhappy Endings now at www.VelvetCollarComics.com.

Plus! Lauren Kiley swaps some juicy HEADlines with Danny. There's good news and bad. Hear what's up with FOSTA/SESTA, DC Comics and Stormy Daniels.

And! Danny and Lauren highlight some their favorite books, zines and comics by queer and sex worker voices. Why the summer reading list?

We'll be taking a short break as we strategize some life stuff and our path forward with this project we love so much. In the meantime, we'll share some new standalone interviews as well as gems from the past two and a half years at On The Dresser.
