“Ugly Mug is a really, really interesting anthology out of the UK… doesn’t seem to be engaged in anything ‘on trend’, instead we have stark black and white cartooning with blunt, human stories. Magnetic stuff, not like the rest!”
– Austin English, Domino Books

Published Sept 2024. A4, 56 pages.

“You want something different in cartooning and storytelling? Get this! Wild, unhindered creativity on display.” – Talking Small Press Comics

“Wild fun and the epitome of sheer creativity perfection… here is more racy fare than any British X-mas Annual of yore. These cunning creations teem with turbulent narrative force and visual clout, and come packed to the gills with wry and witty visual oomph…” – Win Wiacek, Now Read This!

“…things can get a little mad and sometimes leave you thinking ‘what have I just read?’ but it’s that eccentricity and flair that means you can’t stop reading and admiring what’s been put together.” – Comic Book News UK

Ugly Mug continues to occupy a space in our indie scene that no other small press anthology series comes close to visiting. An unrepentant oddity, it’s that very outsider ambience that makes it such a continued draw in the UK self-publishing world.” – Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

“A British ZAP-esque feel to it… nothing in this comic is normal, in a brilliant way.” – Tony Esmond, Awesome Comics Podcast

“…all the brilliance and bizarrie we’ve come to expect.” – The Bedlam Files
