The publisher of Freedom Bound, which was sent to every secondary school in Scotland, said the challenges of Brexit contributed to the decision to wind down the businessBlack Hearted Press was set up in 2011 and grew to become Scotland’s leading publisher of comics and graphic novels. It was nominated in the publisher of the year category in the prestigious Saltire Society Awards in 2022.
Created in conjunction with the University of Glasgow with the aim of educating young people about slavery in Scotland, a copy was distributed to every secondary school in the country.However, in a statement released on Monday, bosses said that despite expanding into the US market in 2019, shrinking profit margins and escalating costs “exacerbated by the complexities of Brexit” had made the international side of the business unfeasible.
“BHP’s legacy lives on through the many lives it has touched. It will be around for the next few years in schools because of Freedom Bound and our titles will live on in the shelves of our readers and no doubt pop up in charity shops for years to come.”
