Victor Dandridge, Jr. is the CEO & President of Vantage:Inhouse Productions, an independent entity that has published some of the most thought provoking and engaging properties to come out of the small press, including critically acclaimed comic book series The Samaritan, Origins Unknown and The Trouble w/Love, as well as the novella series, 8 Mins. In today's episode, he sits down with Sawyer to discuss moderating, the concept of "All Lives Matter" being used as a rebuttal to the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and the importance of having sincere interactions with people. Victor stuns Sawyer when he reveals the details of his own "origin story," and the two discuss his transition from being "The 8-Bit Guy" to his current moniker as "The Hardest Working Man in Comics." After analyzing his own personality, Victor reveals his feelings on the tonal similarities between his publication, The Samaritan, and the Netflix series Marvel's Luke Cage. As their hour together comes to an end, Victor shares his vision of where he will be in five years, what he wishes he had known when his journey first began, and what he thinks it will take to make artistic spaces more accessible for artists of color.
