My guest this week is Greg Lockard, author of the graphic novels Liebestrasse and Trick Pony. Greg’s career in comics started on the business side, handling paperwork and contracts, but he always felt he had stories inside him trying to burst out. So when an opportunity to climb the corporate ladder came, he was faced with a tricky choice — stay in the office, or break away from that job security to strike out on his own with a gay love story he’d been waiting to tell.
