A pioneering member of the underground comix movement, cartoonist Denis Kitchen founded Kitchen Sink Press in1969. For thirty years his company published a pantheon of creators: Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Milton Caniff, Al Capp, R. Crumb, Scott McCloud, Dave McKean, Mark Schultz, Howard Cruse, Art Spiegelman, Charles Burns, Alan Moore and many others. Kitchen Sink ended in 1999, just missing, ironically, the phenomenal growth in recent years of graphic novels, a genre he developed and promoted from its infancy
Circling back to his creative roots in 2009, Kitchen co-authored two new books from Abrams: "Underground Classics" (with James Danky) and "The Art of Harvey Kurtzman" (with Paul Buhle). In June 2010 Dark Horse will publish a monograph, "The Oddly Compelling Art of Denis Kitchen."
