Interview with
DC McNamara Link

When DC McNamara first saw Morty the Dog comix in a comic shop, it was an eye-opening experience. Once he saw what could be done he was inspired to start drawing his own comix. Since then he's self-published over a dozen issues of his own mini comix with titles like Mox Nix, You're Not Creepy At All, and Bigfoot Comix. He also started the Mini-Comix Co-op, a website where cartoonists can trade copies of their comix with other self-publishers. Our spotlight on DC Mcnamara includes an interview conducted in January 2008 and a Zinography of his published work.

Spotlight on Steve Willis Link

Steve Willis was one of the most prominent cartoonists of the newave comix era. He published over 200 of his own small press comics, many featuring Morty the Dog.

In 1991 he revived Bruce Chrislip's City Limits Gazette, editing and publishing the bi-weekly newsletter for nearly three years.
