[edit] History
Blackfish Publishing was founded in late 2006 by Matt Bielby, best known for his work at Future Publishing, also based in Bath, UK, where he worked on some of the company's most successful magazines, including Total Film, PC Gamer and SFX. Blackfish's only launch so far is Death Ray, a science fiction and fantasy title intended to go head-to-head with the runaway market-leader, Future's SFX (which Bielby edited from 1995 to 1996). Death Ray launched in May 2007. The company logo is a deep sea angler fish, and the corporate motto is We Go Deeper.
In August 2008 Blackfish Publishing announced it had been bought by Rebellion Developments, the video game producer who already publish 2000 AD and Abaddon Books. Death Ray will change to a new format (longer but quarterly) and the changes will allow Blackfish to launch other monthly special-interest titles.[1]
