Blank Slate Books (BSB) was a publishing company based in the United Kingdom. It published primarily comic books, graphic novels and comic strip collections, with an emphasis on new work by British artists and translated work by European artists.[4] The books it published were noted for their "indie-friendly" content, and were frequently by small press artists whose initial work was self-published. The name of the company was a pun on "drawing" or "writing" on a blackboard.
BSB was one of the few dedicated original comics and graphic novel publishers in the UK.
GR was invoked but never defined (see the help page).Their championing of artists like Oliver East, and their past promotion of up-and-coming talents through the Chalk Marks imprint, has brought a whole host of exciting new comics voices to a much deserved wider audience.
