Graduate and GAA SHAZLEEN KHAN is part of the creative team behind one of BHP COMICS’ latests releases, FREEDOM BOUND. The graphic novel follows the interconnected stories of three enslaved people living in Scotland before Scots Law proved slavery illegal.
Shazleen inked and coloured the first two thirds of the book;
Freedom Bound was created in conjunction with the University of Glasgow with the purpose of educating Scottish young people about the history of slavery in the country. A special school edition of Freedom Bound was delivered to every Scottish school child and will be the centre of educational plans and classes, broadening their understanding of Scotland’s uncomfortable connections with slavery.
