Denis Kitchen founded Kitchen Sink Press in 1969, and for more than 30 years, the company published some of the biggest, most influential creators in the industry. Now, a new documentary is in the works that examines Kitchen’s Oddly Compelling life.
Oddly Compelling: Even Denis Kitchen’s postcards are trippy!

Filmmakers Soren Christiansen and Ted Intorcio have captured hours of in-depth, candid conversations with Denis Kitchen, and a number of his colleagues and cartoonists for this upcoming documentary that is about to launch on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tinto-press/oddly-compelling-the-denis-kitchen-story?ref=dgwgnl
The Oddly Compelling will document Kitchen’s career and activism and also explore his personal collection of curiosities. Kitchen has amassed an astonishing array of unusual collectibles, from over 100,000 vintage postcards, scores of Big Boy, Kewpie, and celluloid figures, metal toys and robots, to original comic art and political buttons. He has also spent years creating “The Valley of Frankenstein Dolls,” an eccentric outdoor art project that offers unique eye candy throughout the documentary.
Here is the recently released trailer that gives you a taste of the planned project.
