Dennis P. Eichhorn (August 19, 1945 – October 8, 2015)[3] was an American writer, best known for his adult-oriented autobiographical comic book series Real Stuff.

[6] (A book was written about Eichhorn's organizing of the picnic by Stanley D. Crow, at the behest of the state of Idaho, called The Farragut Report.

A study of the Universal Life Church picnic held at Farragut State Park and recommendations for legislative and administrative action.

(He also edited an underground comic book during that time, The Moscow Duck Review,[9] writing one of the stories which was rendered by Reilly Clark.)

While living in San Francisco in 1977, his interview with the band Crime was published in New York City's Punk magazine, his first national exposure.

Turman offered him a position as staff writer, which he eventually turned into a lucrative side business from 1983 until 1994, writing hundreds of articles for Stars magazine and 18 biographical books about celebrities and professional athletes.

In 1994, Eichhorn became editorial director for Loompanics Unlimited, a mail-order libertarian publishing and book distribution company in Port Townsend, Washington, a position which he held for four years.

Before becoming a comics writer, Eichhorn had read the work of Justin Green, Robert Crumb, Frank Stack, and Harvey Pekar.

Stories in the Eisner Award-nominated series were illustrated by many artists, including Ed Brubaker, Rick Altergott, Donna Barr, Lynda Barry, Jim Blanchard, Ariel Bordeaux, Chester Brown, Bob Crabb, Julie Doucet, Éric Thériault, Gene Fama, Mary Fleener, Ellen Forney, Renee French, Roberta Gregory, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Peter Kuper, Paul Mavrides, Pat Moriarity, Joe Sacco, Triangle-Slash, Holly Tuttle, J. R. Williams, Jim Woodring, Mark Zingrarelli, and numerous others.

From 1992 until 2006 Eichhorn wrote comic stories (as well as articles and book reviews) for Scram magazine, a Los Angeles music publication.

[12] In 2004, Top Shelf Productions released The Legend of Wild Man Fischer, a collection of comic book stories about the outsider musician (most of which had appeared in Real Stuff) which Eichhorn co-authored with artists J. R. Williams and Holly Tuttle.
