For comic book professionals, the highest honor in the industry is either an Eisner Award, named for Eisner and given out every summer at Comic-Con International in San Diego, or a Harvey Award, named for Eisner's late friend Harvey Kurtzman, the creator of Mad magazine and Playboy's "Little Annie Fanny," given every April in Pittsburgh.
A new generation of comics fans learned about the man in the 1970s when underground comix publisher Denis Kitchen began reprinting "The Spirit" stories and eventually produced new stories of the character by top comic book talent including Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and Neil Gaiman.
The first comic book reprints were issued by Quality (from 1944-50), followed by Fiction House (1952-54), Harvey Comics (1966-67), Kitchen Sink Press (1973), Warren Publications (1974-76) and Kitchen Sink Press again (from 1977 to 1998).

 Dick Giordano Interview - Comic Book Artist #1 - TwoMorrows Publishing
Comic Book Artist, Eisner Award winner for "Best Comics-Related Magazine", celebrates the lives and works of great cartoonists, writers and editors from all eras through in-depth interviews, feature articles, and unpublished art.
The only books I edited at all were the Action Hero line with Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, the Question, etc. A major part of my job was scheduling material through the plant, so not only did I schedule the creative and editorial work to come in on time but also schedule the production aspects.
What I think needed to be replaced was the look of the book because it was thought of as being a silly, childish, TV rip-off (though it was the other way around as TV had gotten the character from us); Aquatot, Aquababy, funny walruses, and everything else wandering around.
