Rent Girl

Rent Girl, published by Last Gasp in 2004, is a single-issue comic that offers a raw, autobiographical glimpse into the life of a sex worker in San Francisco. Written and drawn by Michelle Tea, it combines personal narrative with gritty, expressive artwork to explore themes of survival, identity, and the underground economy. Though brief, this standalone work stands as a bold, unflinching document of a marginalized experience, notable for its unvarnished honesty and its place within the alternative comics scene of the early 2000s.
