<p>My guest today is Chad Anderson, host of the <a href="https://redcircle.com/shows/graymalkin-lane-the-podcast"><em>Graymalkin Lane</em> podcast</a>. Chad grew up in a home that was not exactly a happy place to be, for a variety of reasons — among them, the rule that everything always had to look as though everything was fine. His one escape: Comic books, and despite being forbidden to read them he found a way to amass quite the collection. For decades, he felt the pressure to hide a lot about himself — and when he finally realized, after kissing another man, that it was time to come out, it was hard to envision how to write the next chapter of his life. Fortunately, by that point he was something of an expert when it came to <a href="https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/1072/chad_anderson">stories of liberation</a>.</p><p>We’ll have that conversation in a minute.
