Highwater Books was an independent comic book publisher based in Somerville, Massachusetts. Highwater began in 1997 and folded in November 2004 due to financial pressure.[1]
Notable artists published by Highwater Books included Marc Bell, Mat Brinkman, Greg Cook, Megan Kelso, James Kochalka, Matt Madden, John Porcellino, Brian Ralph, Ron Rege, Jr.[citation needed]
The press was also known for its ironically themed "Marvel Comics Benefit" anthology Coober Skeber, a prolific output of silkscreened posters and promotional materials, a loose association with Fort Thunder (where a number of Highwater artists resided) and Jordan Crane (publisher of NON), distribution of Jef Czekaj's Hypertruck (née R2D2 Is an Indie Rocker), and a few non-comic works of fiction, including a trio of books by Camden Joy.[citation needed]
