Black Mermaid Productions (BMP) is an Australian creative team made up of Jozef Szekeres (artist) and Julie Ditrich (writer), which specialises in comics and graphic novels. The BMP (Classic) team, which included co-writer Bruce Love began on the Australian produced independent comic Oblagon published by Kaleidoscope in 1992. BMP got its American break a year later with the original ElfQuest: WaveDancers series for Warp Graphics, and also published the Dart miniseries for Erik Larsen and Image in 1996. Bruce Love left at the end of 2003, and BMP (New Wave) comprising Julie Ditrich and Jozef Szekeres is now concentrating on work-for-hire, as well as several creator-owned projects. These include Elf~Fin: Tilaweed & Hyfus (an underwater fantasy romance-adventure), The Gathering of the House of Phorcys (a contemporary action-adventure story for adults interwoven with Greek mythology), Mermist Seas (an epic fantasy mermaid graphic novel series with an operatic quality) and The Mer Files (a children's underwater crime-stopping adventure comic book series).
