Otter Press is an Australian publishing group, which releases the American Simpsons Comics series in Australia. Otter began publishing in 1998 with Simpsons Comics #32, and have published hundreds of different Simpsons books since then, spanning over ten series. They have also published various anime, movie, and other graphic novels.

Between 1994 and 1997, Simpsons Comics were printed by Trielle Corporation. However, Trielle was in liquidation by 1998, and Rik Booth, a co-founder of Otter Press, bought the license to the Australian printings of the comics.

The comics were originally printed bi-monthly, but due to popular demand, earlier issues were released every month that a "new" edition was unavailable. Issues #15 to #31 were released between 1999 and 2001 in four American trade paperback editions.

The Bart Simpson comics series, for the first 19 issues, was padded out to 64 pages with a free Radioactive Man issue inside. Later editions dropped Radioactive Man, and combined two US comics into one release. In 2008, Otter Press began releasing Bart Simpson comics every two months as opposed to their old quarterly schedule. Recent editions now alternate between reprinting two US editions of the comic in a single issue, with the next issue containing one US edition and older stories taken from the Simpsons Super Spectacular series.

Otter Press also published titles featuring Looney Tunes characters, Scooby-Doo, and SpongeBob SquarePants
