Copy This! is a small press news zine published by D. Blake Werts. It's being released on a rapid schedule and each issue is packed with interviews, essays, news and, in some issues, even con reports. Plus, free inserts in some of the issues. I also illustrated the cover for #3. Highly recommended and, if you're a small press publisher and contribute info to the zine, free! Copies can also be purchased. Contact info: bwerts@vnet.net or D.Blake Werts, 12339 Chesley Drive, Charlotte, NC 28277.
Rick Brooks' Mr. Morris is pure comic strip fun and highly recommended. You can read the strip online at GoComics: http://www.gocomics.com/mr-morris/2013/08/04 and learn more about one of my favorite cartoonists here: http://www.rickbrooksbooks.com/
I'm not sure what Scott Mills is drawing these days. I've enjoyed everything I've read by him. Scott, feel free to comment here and update us!
I was very happy to receive the inaugural issue in the mail of a new mini comic which celebrates mini comics! It's getting surprisingly more difficult in the digital age to find places which review and promote small press comics (mini comics, digests, fanzines and indy comics printed on paper) and Copy This!, published by D. Blake Werts, is a welcome addition.
My good friend Dan Taylor is on the cover and interviewed inside and longtime cartoonist Steve (Morty the Dog) Willis provides the intro.
I'm not finding ordering info inside the book, but send a couple bucks to D. Blake Werts for an issue (or two): 12339 Chesley Drive, Charlotte, NC, 28277.

It looks like Steve Willis' blog is by invite only, but here's an interview with Willis: http://www.midnightfiction.com/interviews/steve_willis.htm
BTW, Dan Taylor will be set up at the Gem City Con in Dayton on April 5th and 6th. I 'll be set up there on Saturday. http://gemcitycomiccon.com/
