Artist Lecture: Denis Kitchen
As part of A Serious Look at the Funnies: 100 Years of Comics, Denis Kitchen will give a lecture on his work as a comic artist, publisher and historian. During the exhibition, The Ewing Gallery will display approximately 100 pieces from Denis Kitchen's comic archive. Kitchen began drawing his own comics in the late 1960s. By 1969 he founded Kitchen Sink Press, which published many of the underground comics and artists working in the 1970s and 80s and syndicated many strips to underground newspapers and college newspapers. Kitchen Sink Press was also responsible for publishing reissued collections of newspaper daily comic strips that were popular in the 20s and 30s. In 1986 he founded the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and served as its president until his retirement in 2004. He also is the agent for estate sales for notable comic artists Harvey Kurtzman and Will Eisner.
