Our Story
Founded by Annabel Jane Kirby in the United Kingdom, Kirby’s Comic Art is the flagship of the Kirby’s family of brands, which includes Kirby’s Art Agency and Kirby’s Frames. With over a decade of hands-on experience working with leading industry talents, Annabel established the agency in November 2018 and officially launched on January 5, 2019.
What began as a passionate venture has grown into one of the most trusted and innovative artist representation firms in the industry, now with offices in the UK, USA, and Japan.
