JMH: Tell the readers about Ugli Studios. What are its origins?
JASON: A friend and I decided to make comics in 2011, we needed a name, and the Ugli imprint was started from that. My original partner bailed in 2013, but other people that are like minded have joined into Ugli since then creating comics.
JMH: What sets Ugli Studios apart from all other Publishers?
JASON: It's what Heavy Metal Magazine used to be in the 1970's and early 80's - independent comics with heart from artists that actually like comics. Also the fact that we like to play in different formats and genres makes each issue we do a surprise to the reader.
JMH: What were the first books you produced?
JASON: Ugli Studios Presents #1 came out in 2012.
JMH: Talk about Ugli Studios Presents...
JASON: It's a no holds barred anthology of comics- both full length, short form and serial style stories in color, black and white and no limit on Genres. Stories have been as long as 22 pages to 1 page.
JMH: Can you give us a sneak peek into one of your other titles?
JASON: Ugli Studios Presents #4 will be out in early 2016... Lords of the Cosmos Chapter 2 is the only locked in part of that book for now....
JMH: How are your books going to be released? Print, digital, or both? Why?
JASON: Both- I find that some people like getting material in paper form, while some like digital, why cut anyone out of the loop?
JMH: Who are some of the talent Ugli Studios is bringing to readers in the future?
JASON: For now, I can expect more of me, and more of Joe Freistuhler... we will see who else will come to the table, I have a few ideas but nothing solid, yet.
JMH: Have you worked with these creators in the past?
JASON: Yes-
JMH: When does Ugli Studios Presents #3 hit the streets and where can readers go to get their copy?
JASON: It's out now... If you see me at a convention, get a copy from me directly, or from my store:

JMH: Anything else you'd like to mention that we haven't covered yet?
JASON: I love heavy metal music, and I am excited for the new Lamb of God and Slayer coming out this year, and I have really enjoyed listening to Scar Symmetry in the last few months.
JMH: Pitch Ugli Studios Comics to the readers! In 10 words, tell us why Ugli Studios Comic books are a must buy…
JASON: You won’t find anything cool like this anywhere else- honest!
