Beginning in the late 1970s, Kurtzman's stature began to grow. His protégés such as Crumb, Spiegelman and Gilliam sang his praises, his reputation grew with the spread of comics fandom, and collector Glenn Bray published "The Illustrated Harvey Kurtzman Index" in 1976. He also found he had a following in Europe; his work appeared there for the first time in the French magazine "Charlie Mensuel" in October 1970, and in 1973 the European Academy of Comic Book Art awarded him its Lifetime Achievement Award for 1972. A series of reprint projects and one-shot efforts appeared in the 1970s and 1980s, including "Kurtzman Komix", published in 1976 by Kitchen Sink Press. In his later years, Kurtzman continued to work on anthologies and various other projects, including editing two volumes of a YA original anthology series, "Nuts", packaged by Byron Preiss and published by Bantam Books in 1985. He oversaw reprints of his work in deluxe editions from Russ Cochran, who did "The Complete EC Library", and Kitchen Sink Press, who did collections of "Goodman Beaver" (1984), "Hey Look!" (1992), and others, and reprinted "Harvey Kurtzman's Jungle Book" (1988). Lengthy interviews were conducted with "The Comics Journal" and "Squa Tront". The comics industry's Harvey Award was named in his honor in 1988. Kurtzman toured and gave speeches frequently to fans in the 1980s.
