Black Panel Press is an independent graphic novel publisher founded in 2017 by Andrew Benteau, with the mission of bringing exceptional graphic novels from foreign markets to North American readers. Benteau acquires rights to foreign-language comics and produces English translations, with a focus on work outside the superhero and action genres — particularly European comics. The press has published over twenty titles by creators from China, Mexico, the U.K., Australia, Canada, and elsewhere. After being based variously in New York, Montreal, and Toronto, Benteau relocated the operation to his hometown of St. John's, Newfoundland, in 2024. Distribution is handled worldwide through Independent Publishers Group and Diamond Comic Distributors. Source: CBC News profile. source
