About Us


The Denis Kitchen Art Agency (DKAA), founded in 1991 by publisher, author, and cartoonist Denis Kitchen,DENIS KITCHEN represents certain artists and estates for the sale of original art and/or literary rights.

We specialize in blue chip original comic art work from such legendary artists as Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, R. Crumb, and Will Elder as well as the contemporary talents of Howard Cruse, Peter Poplaski, Kellie Strom, Frank Stack, Joel Beck, and James O'Barr.

DKAA exclusively represents:
 
WILL EISNER ESTATE for the sale of Will Eisner Original Art from classic 1940s-50s Spirit art to Eisner’s groundbreaking graphic novels. Art currently available is featured in our ORIGINAL ART GALLERY. However, we do have a great deal in the archives that is not yet online. If you don’t see the Eisner art you are interested in acquiring, email us.

If you are interested in any literary rights or permission rights for Will Eisner, contact denis at deniskitchen dot com.

HARVEY KURTZMAN ESTATE for the sale of Kurtzman Art, from surviving 1940s illustrations to his 1950s Jungle Book to 60s Goodman Beaver, “Little Annie Fanny” and beyond.

PETER POPLASKI - This versatile award-winning illustrator, cartoonist and painter has created numerous covers for such characters or titles as Superman and Batman (DC Comics), Steve Canyon, Li'l Abner, Corporate Crime and Nard n’ Pat (Kitchen Sink), Shmoo and Crime Does Not Pay (Dark Horse), Gen of Hiroshima (Educomics) and others.

A notorious style mimic, he drew an Alan Moore "Tom Strong" story mimicking C.C. Beck, faked out Al Capp’s own family, has ghosted for R. Crumb, and Milton Caniff himself couldn’t distinguish an actual Caniff page from a Poplaski copy. If Pete wasn't so honest he'd be drawing flawless hundred dollar bills. He also paints wonderful landscapes, still lifes and portraits. Go to Peter Poplaski or for commissions contact orders at deniskitchen dot com. To view Pete in action as his hero Zorro, just look him up on Youtube.

FRANK STACK (aka Foolbert Sturgeon) - Frank Stack Art. Considered by many the very first “underground” cartoonist, he created the ongoing Jesus series, Dorman's Doggie, Amazon Comics, Dr. Feelgood and other classic underground comix, sometimes working with the late Harvey Pekar. DKAA offers primarily Frank’s comic art, but his watercolor paintings are also available on request.

HOWARD CRUSE - Howard’s powerful graphic novel Stuck Rubber Baby has won wide accolades, while his Barefootz series created countless giggles during the underground comix era. Wendel (see the new collection from Rizzoli/Universe) and his work for the groundbreaking Gay Comix evoke both smiles and sometimes painful insights. Go to Howard Cruse Art for wonderful examples of his comic art.

KELLIE STRØM is probably the best artist most American collectors have never heard of. We are proud to offer his incredible painted Star Wars pages; and beautiful color and b&w illustrations he’s done for prestigious clients like the London Times and Telegraph. If you have kids you have to check out his lovely children’s book Sadie the Air Mail Pilot (David Fickling Books). And at least window shop at Kellie Strom.

Other artists will be added soon!
