Comic Watchers Episode 260: Creator, Editor, & Industry Advocate Denis Kitchen Gets Oddly Compelling

The Comic Watcher welcome underground cartoonist, publisher, author, agent, and the founder of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund  Denis Kitchen to the show

In 1969 Denis Kitchen founded Kitchen Sink Press (KSP) and for 30 years published many of the most prominent and innovative creators in the comics field. Kitchen is no longer interested in running an operation the size of KSP, but has established the new small press Denis Kitchen Publishing Co. (DKP) to produce or package a handful of deserving quality books annually.

Kitchen Sink Books (KSB), founded in 2013 by alternative publishing pioneer Denis Kitchen and book designer/editor John Lind as an exclusive imprint of Dark Horse Comics, has just begun a publishing program focusing on large-format, heavily illustrated art books, archival reprint collections, and original graphic novels. KSB’s first project is “Best of Comix Book: When Marvel Comics Went Underground.”

He also founded the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (1986-), is the author or co-author of several books, a literary and art agent, a longtime editor, and a curator of comic art exhibitions in America and overseas.

Kitchen is also the subject of the documentary soon to be crowdfunded on Kickstarter.
