While at the University of Idaho, he edited the underground comic The Moscow Duck Review. Eichhorn moved to Seattle in the late 1970s, and found work for the now-defunct alternative weekly The Rocket as senior editor and writer. He wrote Real Stuff which lasted 20 issues.

In addition to his comics work at the time, Eichhorn published and edited the alternative paper the Northwest EXTRA!, which ran from 1988–1990. He also worked at the mail-order anarchist publisher Loompanics Unlimited from 1994–1998.He self-financed three comic books published through Starhead Comics shortly after Real Stuff ended: Real Schmuck, The Amazing Adventures of Ace International and The Northwest Cartoon Cookery. In 2001, Swifty Morales Press published a reprint collection, Real Stuff by Dennis P. Eichhorn and a Host of Artists.

In 2013, the website Boing Boing began posting Eichhorn's Real Stuff comics. Shortly thereafter, Eichhorn returned to alternative comics with Dennis P. Eichhorn's Real Good Stuff from Poochie Press. Eichhorn was active until the very end, and Last Gasp published his final book, Dennis P. Eichhorn's Extra Good Stuff.
