>>153420039 Not to say someone dying isn't bad which it is and sad unless they deserve it but no evidence this was any kind of psychopath yes it's a celebrity who made Comics but what does Spider-Man mean by the only woman I ever loved what did he never love his mother or Aunt May at that point? Did he only have a date with Gwen Stacy by that point?
>>153420039Cause of death?
>>153420648Actual fucking retard
>stickyThanks mods
RIPWell I’ll ask some things. Thoughts on his writing, on Spider-Man, etc. favorite stories etc? And thoughts on his decision to kill off Gwen?
I wish I could muster the capacity to feel bad but unfortunately comics has wasted my time and money for 20 years RIP old guy from 3 decades ago, if only your work mattered enough to keep this industry afloat
>>153420039RIP.
I may not have cared for the guy politically but dude created a lot of characters I love.So RIP I guess
>>153420714>And thoughts on his decision to kill off Gwen?I'm generally Pro Dead Gwen. Though I wasn't really a reader at the time so my opinion might be a bit retroactively biased but it is still generally one of the best stories.
I heard Stan Lee was the person who ordered Gwen Stacy killed off, and he left the book so that Gerry Conway would be blamed for it instead.
>>153420039A great sadness. Truly a legend of the industry.
RIP, we've been losing a lot of legends lately.

>Gerard Francis Conway[2] (September 10, 1952[3] - April 2026[4]) was an American comic book writer, comic book editor, science fiction writer,[5] screenwriter, television writer, and television producer. He is known co-created the Marvel Comics vigilante antihero the Punisher as well as Peter Parker's clone Ben Reilly, the super villain Jackal, and the first Ms. Marvel, and also writing the death of the character Gwen Stacy during his long run on The Amazing Spider-Man in the story arc "The Night Gwen Stacy Died".>For DC Comics, he co-created the superheroes Firestorm, Power Girl, Jason Todd, and the villain Killer Croc, and for writing the Justice League of America for eight years. Conway wrote the first major, modern-day intercompany crossover, Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man.>Conway was born in Brooklyn, New York,[3] and was a fan of comics from a young age. A letter from him appears in Fantastic Four #50 (May 1966), written when Conway was He attended New York University for a time.>Conway published his first professional comic book work at 16,[6] with the 61⁄2-page horror story "Aaron Philips' Photo Finish" in DC Comics' House of Secrets #81 (Sept. 1969). He continued selling such anthological stories for that series and for Marvel's Chamber of Darkness and Tower of Shadows through the end of 1970, by which time he had also published one-page text short stories in DC's All-Star Western #1 (Sept. 1970) and Super DC Giant #S-14 (Oct. 1970). He published his first continuing-character story in DC's semi-anthological occult comic The Phantom Stranger #10 (Dec. 1970
>>153420039This the guy that was having melt downs on twitter over manga?
>>153420648Shut your faggot mouth
>>153420714Probably the most important Spider-Man writer ever, his Spectacular/Web run is underrated>And thoughts on his decision to kill off Gwen?Good, along with Norman
>>153420853>>153420648>>153420684What I do?
What a shame. One of the goat Spider-man writers. Imagine writing the most iconic Spider-man story at like 19 or whatever.
>>153420039I always thought he was older because he wrote his legendary ASM run from 1972-1975, but he was fucking 19 when he started it. Incredible career, even his more recent work was good.
>Conway recalled breaking into Marvel Comics through Marvel editor Roy Thomas:>I'd been writing for DC Comics for two or three years...but to paraphrase the joke about the actor's ambitions to be a director, what I really wanted to do was write superheroes – specifically Marvel heroes. Through friends I'd become acquainted with Roy Thomas, who was Stan Lee's right-hand man at the time, and Roy offered me a shot at the Marvel 'writing test.' Stan wasn't impressed, but Roy liked what I did, and began throwing some short assignments my way, including scripting over his plot on an early Ka-Zar [story].[8]>Following his first continuing-character story for Marvel, with his script for the jungle lord Ka-Zar in Astonishing Tales #3 (Dec. 1970), Conway began writing superhero stories with Daredevil #72 (Jan. 1971). He quickly went on to assignments on Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and both "The Inhumans" and "The Black Widow" features in the split book Amazing Adventures. He scripted the first Man-Thing story, in 1971,[9] sharing co-creation credit with Stan Lee and Roy Thomas.[7] Conway eventually scripted virtually every major Marvel title, and co-created (with writers Roy and Jean Thomas and artist Mike Ploog) the lead character of the feature "Werewolf by Night", in Marvel Spotlight #2 (Feb. 1972);[10] he also wrote the premiere issue of Marvel's The Tomb of Dracula, introducing the longstanding literary vampire into the Marvel universe
Big RIP
>>153420778Nah, Stan might have swapped his stance on the fly a lot but he was pretty consistent about not liking Gwen's death. Even though he greenlit it in the first place but I digress
>>153420714>thoughts on his decision to kill off Gwen?Comic industry would be a different place if she had lived.

>>153420039damn RIP
>In late 1972, Conway and writers Steve Englehart and Len Wein crafted a metafictional unofficial crossover spanning titles from both major comics companies. Each comic featured Englehart, Conway, and Wein, as well as Wein's first wife Glynis, interacting with Marvel or DC characters at the Rutland Halloween Parade in Rutland, Vermont. Beginning in Amazing Adventures #16 (by Englehart with art by Bob Brown and Frank McLaughlin), the story continued in Justice League of America #103 (by Wein, Dick Dillin and Dick Giordano), and concluded in Thor #207 (by Conway and penciler John Buscema). As Englehart explained in 2010, "It certainly seemed like a radical concept and we knew that we had to be subtle (laughs) and each story had to stand on its own, but we really worked it out. It's really worthwhile to read those stories back to back to back – it didn't matter to us that one was at DC and two were at Marvel – I think it was us being creative, thinking what would be really cool to do."[18][19][20]>Conway returned to DC Comics in mid-1975, beginning with three books cover-dated Nov. 1975: Hercules Unbound #1, Kong the Untamed #3, and Swamp Thing #19. He wrote a revival of the Golden Age comic book series All Star Comics, which introduced the character Power Girl.[21][22][23] Shortly afterward, he was chosen by Marvel and DC editors to script the historic intercompany crossover Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man #1, a 96-page, tabloid-sized, $2 one-shot, at a time when comic books sold for 25 cents.[7][24]>He continued writing for DC, on titles including Superman, Detective Comics (starring Batman), Metal Men, Justice League of America, 1st Issue Special #11 starring Codename: Assassin,[25] and that of the licensed character Tarzan.[7] Conway briefly returned to Marvel where he succeeded Marv Wolfman as editor-in-chief in March 1976,[26] but held the job only "about a month-and-a-half,"[27] relinquishing the post and being succeeded by Archie Goodwin.
>>153420835It's because comics are nicher compared to cartoons and 4chan is a weeb siteWhen someone dies people from outside the board will attend and those people tend to make up the vast chunk of the repliesIt's why the only three comics people I can safely see acquire a 1000+ replies and warrant archive chunking are Rob Liefeld, Alan Moore, and Ken PendersThe kind of creators notable to people outside of /co/ because their reputations extend past contemporary comic fans (and in Penders' case, he's a complete nobody in comics spaces but he's infamous among Sonic fans who well, outnumber us)Maybe Neil Gaiman since he made Coraline
>>153420904Being a cunt when someone died
>>153420941I think he hated that angry readers blamed him for it more than anything.
>For a time, a confluence of publishing schedules resulted in Conway stories appearing in both Marvel and DC comics in the same month: The prolific Conway's comic books with January 1977 cover-dates alone, for example, are Marvel's The Avengers, The Defenders, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, The Spectacular Spider-Man,[28] and the premiere issues of Ms. Marvel and Logan's Run, and Superman and Action Comics.[7]DC Comics and later career>After leaving Marvel's editorship, he again wrote exclusively for DC for the next decade writing both major and lesser titles – from those featuring Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Legion of Super-Heroes to such books as Weird Western Tales, Atari Force and Sun Devils. He had an eight-year run on Justice League of America, writing most issues from #151–255 (Feb. 1978 – Oct. 1986)[29] including the double-sized anniversary issue #200 (March 1982).[] Conway wrote two additional Superman projects in the oversized tabloid format, Superman vs. Wonder Woman, drawn by José Luis García-López,[] and Superman vs. Shazam, drawn by Rich Buckler.[]>He co-created the characters Firestorm with artist Al Milgrom[] and Steel with artist Don Heck[34] in the premiere issues (both March 1978) of the respective titular comics.[7] Two other Conway co-creations, the Deserter (with artist Dick Ayers)[][36] and the Vixen (with artist Bob Oksner),[] were scheduled to receive their own series as well but were canceled before any issues were published. He additionally co-created the characters Vibe and Gypsy.[] As writer of Batman #337–359 (July 1981 – May 1983) and the feature "Batman" in Detective Comics #497–526 (Dec. 1980 – May 1983),[] he introduced the characters Killer Croc[] and Jason Todd,[41] the latter of whom became the second Robin, succeeding original sidekick Dick Grayson.[7] With artist Gene Colan, Conway revived the Golden Age supervillains Doctor Death in Batman #345 (March 1982)[] and the Monk in Batman #350 (Aug. 1982).[]

>Conway was a frequent collaborator with Roy Thomas. Together they wrote a two-part Superman–Captain Marvel team-up in DC Comics Presents #33–34 (May–June 1981); the Atari Force and Swordquest mini-comics packaged with Atari 2600 video games; and three Justice League of America-Justice Society of America crossovers.[44][45] Conway contributed ideas to the talking animal comic Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!, created by Thomas and Scott Shaw.[46] Thomas and Conway were to be the co-writers of the JLA/Avengers intercompany crossover,[47] but editorial disputes between DC and Marvel caused the project's cancellation.[48] Conway was one of the contributors to the DC Challenge limited series in 1986.[49]>He returned to Marvel in the 1980s and served as the regular writer of both The Spectacular Spider-Man and Web of Spider-Man from 1988 until 1990.[7] Conway stated in 1991 that "I understand the character a lot better now than I did when I was nineteen. And one of the nice things about the Marvel characters is that you can keep them fresh by changing them just a bit."[50] His run on Spectacular included such story arcs as the "Lobo Brothers Gang War".[51] He relinquished writing duties on both titles when he became the story editor of the television series Father Dowling Mysteries.[citation needed] Conway's last recorded comic credits for many years were Topps Comics' "Kirbyverse" NightGlider[52] #1 (April 1993), scripting from a Roy Thomas plot, and a story for Disney Adventures, published in 1995.>Conway returned to comics in 2009 and wrote DC Comics' The Last Days of Animal Man, with artist Chris Batista.[53] In 2011, he wrote the DC Retroactive: Justice League – The '80s one-shot.[54] Also for DC, he wrote the Firestorm feature in Legends of Tomorrow #1–6 in 2016.[55]
>In 2015, he returned to Spider-Man by writing a story in Spider-Verse Team Up #2, and the "Spiral" storyline in The Amazing Spider-Man #16.1–20.1. He returned to work as a series' regular writer that same year with Carnage which ran for 16 issues until 2017. In 2016, he returned to his creation the Punisher by writing The Punisher Annual #1. From 2016 to 2017, he wrote The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #1–9, followed by What If? Spider-Man #1 in 2018 and the oneshot The Amazing Spider-Man: Going Big, penciled by Mark Bagley, in 2019. In 2023, he was credited with the plot for the oneshot What If...? Dark: Spider-Gwen.Novels and Star Trek Comic Strip>In addition to comics, Conway published two science-fiction novels: The Midnight Dancers[56] and Mindship (originally published as a short story in the science fiction anthology Universe 1.)[57] He also wrote the February 14–December 3, 1983, dailies of the syndicated newspaper comic strip Star Trek, based upon the 1960s TV series.[58]Screenplays and TV producing>Conway moved into screenwriting in the 1980s, starting with the animated feature Fire and Ice (1983), co-written with Roy Thomas, based on characters created by Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta. Conway and Thomas wrote the story basis for Stanley Mann's screenplay for the film Conan the Destroyer (1984). Afterwards, Conway and Thomas also worked on the script of a live-action X-Men film for production company Nelvana that wasn't produced because of distributor Orion Pictures' financial troubles and subsequent bankruptcy.[59]>Conway wrote, and later produced, such TV series as Father Dowling Mysteries, Diagnosis: Murder, Matlock, Jake and the Fatman, Under Suspicion, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Baywatch Nights, Pacific Blue, Silk Stalkings, Perry Mason telefilms, Law & Order, The Huntress, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and two episodes of Batman: The Animated Series ("Appointment in Crime Alley", "Second Chance").[60]
>>153420039I loved Renew Your Vows!

>>153421095
>>153421026you're either actually retarded or pretending to be retarded so no one's going to take you seriously
>>153421099Ehh, Conway got a few culture war bait threads for a bit a few years ago when he was sperging about manga on pre-Elon Twatter, but that's about it.Plus, it's like 1:30 in the afternoon, most of the Americans (primary audience for cape comics on /co/) are still at work right now.
>>153420835Because the things he has done or influenced were much more popular than him, it's a symptom of working in US comics. Only huge nerds give a shit. He worked for the companies and owned none of what he did.
Did not expect this. RIP, Gerry.
You sound like a doctor saying I have Huma problems when I know I have medical issues because I have Asperger's which I'm diagnosed with so I never normal but you're saying I have a mental issue that is outdated in diagnosing someone having a mental thing.>>153421095>>153421112 I do too.

>Conway frequently referenced his comic book connections during his stint on Law & Order by naming characters on the show after comic book creators such as John Byrne.>Conway's first wife was comic-book writer Carla Conway.[61][62] The couple have a daughter, Cara.[61] His second wife, Karen, is a psychologist who works with autistic children.[6] They married in 1992 and have a daughter, Rachel.[61] As of 2015, Conway and Laura live in Thousand Oaks, California.[6]>Conway's ancestral family background is Irish, as he described in his blog:>In my case, on my mother's side, I'm a second-generation immigrant. My grandparents were born in Ireland. They came to America in the late 'teens of the last century and lived a life not very different from the life my housekeeper and her husband live today. My grandfather was a day laborer in the Brooklyn ship yards. My (step)-grandmother washed floors at Hunter College in Manhattan. (My biological grandmother died when my mother was eight years old, so I've no idea what she did to earn a living, but I assume it was either piece work or domestic work of some kind.) Because they were lower-class Irish, they were the Hispanics of their day – tolerated, but not embraced, by the larger society, and viewed with scorn by the WASP upper class. ... Even my father felt that anti-Irish prejudice, real or imagined. In the 1950s he once spoke, rather bitterly, about being one of the two 'token Irishmen' working at his company.[63]>Conway was raised a Christian, but stated in a 2013 interview that he does not "have any religious belief at this point".[64]>In October 2022, Conway was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent Whipple surgery to remove the tumor, resulting in several hospitalizations. In September 2023, he declared that he was cancer-free.>On April 27, 2026, it was announced that Conway had died.[4]
>>153420039Good night, sweet prince. I always had a lot of respect for Gerry Conway and his legacy, and considered him one of the biggest cape innovators who liked to experiment a lot and was really in-touch with the youth of his day (unsurprising, considering he started his career at only 18 - extremely impressive). Going by the number of iconic characters he helped create, he's definitely among the most prolific comic creators of all time. RIP.
Goodbye, Gary. Thank you for Power Girl, Vixen, and Jason Todd.
>>153420039HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!
Meh, he was no Zeb Wells.
>>153421359Kys, subhuman baiter
>>153420648It was clickbait of its time, you had to put all sorts of dramatic shit on the cover that sometimes doesn't entirely make sense. This one isn't even really that bad, since the event shown on the cover is in the actual comic.Also it's not really what Spider-Man says here anyway. He says "the only girl I'll ever love". Aunt May and his mom are not girls, his previous love interests weren't really serious, and he had no way of knowing about the future.

>>153420039All the great comic book writers are dying off. Who's going to pick up the cowboys gun when the last of them finally die off? None of the current generation of writers appreciate the art of the old timers.
>>153420835You’ve never heard of him, but you have heard of his characters
>>153421477Who are Conway's most well-known characters? The mentally ill murderhobo? The rip-off of a rip-off and the old pervert who cloned him? They just don't compare to Paul.
>>153420648Gwenschizo, go jump off a bridge in a manner not unlike Norman bumping her off one.
>>153420039I don't like his comics and disagree with him on manga, but he was very important to comics.F
>>153421359>>153421456If you really wanted to bait you'd bring up Conway's controversial tweets from the last few years where he justified Marvel's perpetual status quo by saying that if someone wants change there are alternative universe titles available (like Renew Your Vows or Ultimate). He also didn't really understand manga/anime culture and generally thought it was some weird degenerate shit for perverts.I never thought there was anything wrong with those tweets, the first was pretty reasonable and the second was an opinion he had the right to hold (especially considering his age), but /co/ seethed about them.
>>153421526Capeshit probably has to die to get better. I dont think we can improve it while big corpo's keep sucking the life out of it.
>>153421576>He also didn't really understand manga/anime culture and generally thought it was some weird degenerate shit for perverts...it isn't?
>>153420714I think killing her was for the bestGwen was a shallow character that I never really connected with (though that might be because I knew she dies)It was an event that shook the entire story, it affected nearly every aspect of Spider-storytelling for the next few years. Nothing really touching its level of influence until Kraven's Last Hunt
>tranimeKEKS
>>153421576>by saying that if someone wants change there are alternative universe titles available (like Renew Your Vows or Ultimate).He's not exactly wrong as Marvel has been pretty open about how status quo is king and had spider-man sell his marriage and unborn baby to do it. Only thing that's fucked is they don't make those alt universe for longterm plans in mind.
Was he the last major Silver Age writer left? I know he came in at the arse end but I can't think of anyone else left from that period.
>>153420714I'm pretty sure it wasn't Gerry's decision, it was an editorial decision that Gwen had to go and he wrote the story for how it would happen. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've seen it brought up before.
>>153421644Roy Thomas is still alive. He objectively has a great legacy, but I'm not sure if I'll be there posting Fs in his death thread because I personally was never a fan of most of his work, and it's an open secret he was involved in some scummy practices.
>>153421644Steranko
>>153421642He probably got paid to give some lip-service to their ideas. Or not. Either way, I still think it is retarded to saddle your premier character with an unchanging status quo when the whole point of the character was that it changed. They are faggots and Gerry got tricked by their waterworks and feefees getting hurt by people who give a damn about the book.
>>153421644Roy Thomas?

He's written a lot of good comics and his return to Spider-Man at the end of the '80s is even better than his original ASM run. Firestorm is great and well worth reading too.>>153421650>I'm pretty sure it wasn't Gerry's decisionNo, it was everybody's. With Stan off they book they all wanted to do something to shake it up and decidedto kill off a character. It was originally going to be Aunt May but everyone felt with her being old and on the verge of death anyway it would't have much impact so Romita suggesed Gwen. Conway was cool with it because he didn't much like her and thought she was a dull and shallow character..
>>153422175There was that whole debacle a couple years ago with Thomas claiming credit for co-creating Wolverine when all he did was ask to have a Canadian villain for Hulk named Wolverine. He also only did it once the actual creators (Len Wein, Herb Trimpe, and John Romita Sr.) were dead and just in time to get royalties from Deadpool & Wolverine. That was seen as a scumbag move by most at the time and soured a lot of people on him. But he also has a lengthy history of allegedly doing similarly underhanded stuff (part of why Jack Kirby drew caricatures of him and Stan in Mr Miracle >>153422092). There's a thread from last year that goes over some of this: https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/149590943Now mind you, not every slight against Thomas here is legitimate, some are pretty grievances or unprovable allegations, but it gives some good context for why his reputation has grown less than stellar and usually things like this don't come out of nowhere.
>>153420039Dan Slott is gonna live to 128 isn't he?
>>153422314Maybe you think her death was a good idea but I don't besides ig they really wanted itto matter then norman would have stayed dead for good.
>>153421419Conway's mid-2010s Marvel work was surprisingly great. Usually with older writers you expect things to be outdated but RYV and Carnage were both really good. Carnage epecially was a great throwback in style to Marvel's horror books from the 1970s.
>>153421843Terrible design, completely nonsensical and shitty villains and too OP powers that are limited by the hero being too dumb doesn’t make for an appealing character
>>153422409>Terrible design,No, you have shittaste
>>153421644Conway is a Bronze Age guy. The last major/otable Silver Age guys still left that I can think of are Roy Thomas and Larry Lieber.>>153422163He's probably a fag from r/comicbooks. They slurp the TCJ narrative of Marvel readily and see Thomas as little more than Stan's toady who did even less writing than Stan and stole credit for everything.
>>153420039Aw man RIP
>>153422075Silver Age is typically taken to be from 1956-1970 and Wolfman's first work was in 1968 so I guess on a very technical level he counts but it's only a few stories. Most would consider him a Bronze Age guy.
>>153422631>and stole creditHe stole credit for the creation of Wolverine, retard. Also bringing him in a thread about Conway (a real and talented creator) is fucking wild.
>>153420039RIP>>153420686He was happy watching his own creations meeting each other before he left.>>153422151Second Chance is just goldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEToAtPApKY
>>153422328He's a Polish pedophile obsessed with Gwen Stacy and hatred of Mary Jane who's been shitting up and ruining all Spider-Man discussion on /co/ for nearly a decade because he got triggered over Peter and MJ being together in Spencer's ASM run.
>>153422723>He was happy watching his own creations meeting each other before he left.absolute kino ending.also thanks for that video.
>>153422735I am no pedophile now stop with this shit if this a joke it's not funny.
>>153420714I don't care if he decided it, but she had to either die or change completely. Eventually she became one of the worst Spider-Man characters, too boring and perfect. Oh but those two issues, 121 and 122, some of the best comics of all time. Good art, narration, dialogue, and plot
Think it's funny that even though he's the guy who first truly brought Mary Jane and Peter together (Stan had him ultimately end up with Gwen), he was still against the idea of them being married.
DON'T reply to bait and schizos
>>153420714Killing Gwen was the easy way out. She hated Spider-Man for killing her father, but Peter Parker continued to date her. Finding out that he was lying to her the entire time would have been some interesting drama, but then boom, she was killed, instant Sainthood. The "What If Gwen Stacy Survived" issue and Slott's "resurrection" both ignored that she should have no reason to like him/ Slotto just had her mad about dying, not killing her father and concealing the truth from her, deeply unethical and irresponsible.
>>153420039wtf Gwen got killed? SPOILERS dude
>>153422335What a bastard.
>>153422915When Slott's write women characters they lose 60IQ points and all agency.
>>153420039First Sal Buscema and now this. Spidey bros I don't feel so good...RIP.
>>153422831Peter and Gwen should have married MJ was a HUGE mistake now more far more fans hate MJ then they do Gwen. They should bring back Gwen and give her and Peter a happy ending, quite frankely fuck MJ.

>>153423033He is right on all counts. They are drawings, but drawings in the context of what they are. Targeted at young people, with older people often sexualizing and shipping (straight or gay) is cringe pervert behavior. Who most of the time wont buy the manga and just read scans online. So they do not value the work artist put into those pages.YETThey are all fictional, and not real and making political statements about art also cringe behavior.
>>153423261That’s you
>>153423165Thanks making the most famous whore in comics?
>>153423313Idk, he was born the era where non-drawings, live action american movies used to sexualize teens all of the time. Most people missed the world from before 2000.
Condolences to his family and friends. I'm not going to comment on him as a person, as I didn't know him.He was a hack writer.
>>153423294A lot of boomers I know are pretty based since they grew up with great media and they don't complain about misogyny. >>153423033Did he hate his old characters like Power Girl as well? I respect him but it seems that the internet has affected him in a negative way.

>>153423476His twitter posts were so barebone that I can't even seethe at them. I doubt he even knew what a shoujo manga was or something like that. I don't think he had any real malice, he was just old and got motivated by other shit he has seen on twitter. My advice for other anons is to keep your old ones away from social media.
>>153423438https://twomorrows.com/alterego/articles/14conway.html>CONWAY: In the '70s, when I was writing comics at DC and Marvel, I made it a practice to sketch my own ideas for the costumes of new characters-heroes and villains-which I offered to the artists as a crude suggestion representing the image I had in mind. I had done that with The Punisher at Marvel. Similarly, I sketched a crude version of Power Girl, including the open circle on her chest, which either Joe or Ric developed into the finished design.>RT: So there may have been as many as three design sketches for Power Girl, starting with yours! According to a Levitz letters page, Wally Wood suggested closing up the bare spot on Power Girl's chest. Hardly a major point, but...>CONWAY: Actually, closing the circle on Power Girl's costume was [publisher] Jenette Kahn's idea. She felt it was sexist, and she was probably right. I doubt Wally would have had such qualms, given his taste for ill-clad buxom babes. (A taste I share, by the way, and another reason why this former Catholic boy will probably burn in hell.)He was a always a feminist, just doing so in a way that faltered on many occasions.
>>153423377Shut your mouth

>>153420904Anon, in English that statement exclusively applies to romantic love between significant others and he hadn't had more than a tumultuous flirtation with both Liz Allen and Betty Grant by that point. She was the only woman he had ever loved.

>>153420039Rest in peace, Conway. You did soap opera like nobody else.
>>153426043The Night Gwen Stacy Died is a genre defining story and the one that basically solidified that the Silver Age truly was dead and gone for good. It's one of the most influential and important cape comics ever written and even if he'd never had a career after his first ASM run that alone would warrant a place in the most important superhero comic writers ever. But also, coming after Stan was a lot of pressure but his run not only improved from the later parts of Stan's run but is pretty much the point where Spidey became THE Marvel character and probably the third most famous superhero after Superman and Batman.

>>153426339Well, people of his age were already calling out Roy Thomas. And I don't consider Kirby as a literal who.

F.Thanks for your stories on Spider-Man, creating the Punisher and doing RYV v2.

>>153423033I get that in part of this was calling manga sexist and pedophillic, but I do sense a lot of frustration here that comics can't do any cheesecake without getting shit on like "ugh, where are her organs!?" or "that's such an impractical costume" when you can go to any manga aisle in a book store and have really erotic and sexual art next to manga aimed at younger readers. Or have cheesecake in books aimed at younger readers, for that matter. There's some backlash at it and you do have people complaining about sexualization in anime/manga, but it's never to the degree where it straight up prevents it or minimizes it like it does American comics.
>>153428811>2023What the hell? I thought he died last year.
>>153420039RIP to a legend
>>153423091Neat
>>153428858The TL;DR is: DemographicsIt turns out that splitting things up by who is actually going to like them is a much better solution than just shoving a bunch of shit in your "staple genre" and hoping that making superhero-flavored versions of a bunch of other genres is going to attract new audiences.When it comes to media, segregation is not an inherently bad thing.

>>153431408Until the end of the Clone Saga established that he'd been alive the whole time, yes.
>>153420279His Ms Marvel or Firestorm maybe.
Marvel Tokon and Spiderverse 3 will be dedicated to both Sal and Gerry, ain't it? Capcom did it for Jack when they made Marvel Super Heroes
>>153420039wtf spidermon if you kill your enemies they win you cant do that
>Manga fans vs Comicbook fans
>>153431871No, they'll be dedicated to Paul Rabin.
>>153420039>into the spiderverse comes out the same year Lee dies>across the spiderverse comes out the same year romita dies>beyond the spiderverse comes out the same year Conway dies
>>153420039F.
Another good issue. And the set up for later major storylines.
More certified grade-a material.
>>153420039yay
>>153432928Faggot
His dying wish is MAGA STOP USING THE PUNISHER LOGO.
>>153433428DamnSucks for himShouldve asked for a donut or something
>>153423312I’ve always loved this spread
>>153420039
>and the millions he touched through his workPhrasing! Seriously though, R.I.P.
>>153433750What?
>>153420686As a long time Punisher fan, this ship kind of baffles me. I always thought Wonder Woman was a better pairing. But I’m old, what do I know? RIP.
>>153433428
Was hoping to meet him at a con one day……..
Wait, was Conway the one that decided to turn The Punisher into an anti-hero instead of a one-off villain?
>>153434250
Technically it was this game that got me into reading the comics. But still, RIP to one of the legends.
>>153430970That movie was just tech demo that an actual film.
>>153434264Yup. In the 2004 Punisher film DVD special feature he talks about it.
>>153434302Still cool.
>>153434305K
>>153434281Yeah, at the time everyone was doing the shirt and trench coat. I wanted to show love to the original costume. I am seeing it more and more now a days.
>>153434346>con one day……..This was I replied with that gif.
>>153434157The joke is that Conway created both.
>>153434264Well he was already an antihero in ASM 135, 6 issues after his first appearance. Conway wrote both issues. God this is a good cover. I can't believe that Ross Andru died in 1993, he was so young. I really like his art
>>153434233Transgenderism is class warfare on the poor and working classes
>>153434373Oh, short for comic con.
>>153434421Interesting
>>153434482>Conway>”con one day”
>>153420039Time is the worst thing in the world.R.I.P. legend.
>>153434281>I'm on my way to the con so I can meet him>>153434346Oh I love his original costume. He looks like a special agent. The trenchcoat is cool but generic
>>153434250punished nigga
>>153432600>miles is literally killing his better’s creators
>>153430351Thank god he won’t live to see it soiled further
>>153434564I’m surprised a black man hasn’t taken up the mantle. Punisher origin stories happen in black neighborhoods every day.
>>153420039Another talentless misogynistic unc bites the dust
>>153434886Stfu, subhuman
>>153432600>into the spiderverseAlso the year Ditko died. That nigger is cursed
>>153429048The thing is, like I mentioned, there's still plenty of cheesecake in manga across different genres and demos. You wouldn't see a kid's aimed comic in America with cheesecake like a manga for the same demo would have. Or violence, for that matter.
how the fuck can the thread still be alive ??? it's over the bump limit jannies do your thing.
>>153420039May he rest in peace.
>>153435945fuck that if the afterlife does exist then long may he wallow in sex/orgies/ Threesome anal sex and Gangbangs. Over the yeas i have become disillusioned with many things and I come to the conclusion that only two things really matter and that is sex and the eternal sleep fuck the rest since everything goes to shit sooner or later.
>>153435497Ahh, well that's mostly a difference in culture.Asians in general seem to adhere less to the "children are sheltered and their media should be harmless colors and rainbows" form of thinking.
>>153436237Too bad you get neither LOL
>>153436397What makes you say that here is what I think is going in the afterlife righ now jesus and his angels at timess are giving women Gangbangs with lots of DP at other times three or four girls are being taken by just one of his angels and the circle goes on in other ways. This is not seen as a sin however in heaven but rather a need it turns everyone is happy best this way.,
>>153427533Gunn is a postcrisisfag with some Silver Age stuff.That krypton and the more philosiphic Superman is more from Bronze Age
>>153423033Manga has been called out for sexism for years tho? Even with people coping with Yuri(which is not different than Korra) Kishimoto, Oda , Gege,Horikoshi,... Has 24/7 manchilds mad at them writing woman or being homophobes(hilarious because Hori probably is sorta centre-left wing reading his vision of trans stuff)Also the pedo stuff is hilarious, pedo in manga gets more talk than pedo in comics, read a Claremont ,Wolfman or Byrne comic and has 100% pedo relationships
>>153430193Pedophiles?
>>153438161Ancient Greek philosopher.
>>153430193You projecting?
Other than Spider-Man, what are his other most essential runs to read?
>>153438962He is.
Anyone who is favor of censoring drawings in any form deserves to burn in hell.
Might as well use this thread to mention that Len Strazewski, who wrote the early '90s JSA series and co-created Jesse Quick, died last night as well.
>>153420039F, even if I’ve never read his stuff
>>153439775you really should. it's quite good.
>>153424016Based to the max
>>153420039What's a Gerry Conway ?
>>153420039Don't mind mejust posting Gerry's best work
>>153423033Insanely based. RIP I'm sorry about the Clone Saga and manga.
>>153441561No, faggot>>153441685Not based
>>153441735Cut your dick off its popular now
>>153441754Tell that to yourself
>>153441735Damn this nigga jerks off to pre-teen cartoon girls
>>153441771Did Gerry strike a nerve when he called you out for hiding behind an anime pfp? You'll never be a real woman.
>>153441779No, and drawings aren’t real life>>153441796Nobody cares about you
>>153441803You replied so you do tranny
>>153441866Shut up, fag, manga readers aren’t going to kill you
>>153439233How does one into JSA? I know you'll probably say not to start with Golden Age stuff, so where is best?>>153441803>>153441796Not these anons but I like Gerry Conway and like anime/manga. Gerry is old and liked America probably when it wasn't in competition with other media sources and the internet didn't exist. So yeah he's not gonna like anime. I can accept that. I can also accept that they are drawings. But comics aren't really socially accepted fully by well-adjusted people you might actually get along with. They will not put you down for it but they won't tolerate your level of interest or get into it themselves.So yeah, I fucking hate these flamewar shit threads where it's the same "you're an incel, no lifer pedophile" against "You're a soulless goyim drone who has no taste and accepts getting cucked by trannies, women, and faggots in charge of the world."So yeah I fucking hate this argument and I'd rather be hearing from anons who know more about Gerry and comics. Because this is /co/ faggots.
>Creation of Vixen>what I was trying to address was what I perceived to be a lack of strong female leads in DC's comics at the time. Or, let me put it this way: there was an opportunity, as DC was looking for additional books. Surveying the titles that they have, it seemed to me there were some obvious openings for characters that had been underrepresented. One of them had been lead female super-heroes. They had Wonder Woman. To a lesser degree they had Supergirl, Power Girl (who I also created), and Wonder Girl. There were a lot of girls, but not a lot of full-formed adult female super-heroes operating at DC, so I wanted to create one I also wanted to create a character who was a minority, and the idea of a female Black super-heroine hadn't been played up to any great extent at that point. I think Storm (of the X-Men) was around, but I don't think there were very many other representations of that type of character in the field... She was kind of based on what we called supermodels at the time. It was a very strange social phenomenon that was starting to occur back then. You had these women who were obviously objects of the male gaze, but they were also extremely empowered. They took charge of their own image, their own business, and identity. I wanted to show that.
>>153442041>contd.>This was the 70s, so I hope female readers today will give us a bit of a pass on this. There were not that many active role models regarding careers for women at that time where you could reasonably say: this woman would have the resources to maintain a career as a super-heroine. What were the jobs available to women in the mid- to late-70s? Clerical work. Teaching jobs. There were very few potential jobs that would provide the potential resources and money that a character like Vixen would need to carry on a super-hero career. That's a horribly sexist reality we were dealing with. Plus, she's a minority, and that adds another whole layer of disadvantage that she has to overcome. So, it was a bit of wish fulfillment (for that character, not necessarily for me as the writer), and a bit of practicality to reflect something that was real in our society, i.e. the advent of these take-charge, supermodel/businesswomen.I found that interesting. I always saw her in other DC media but never knew much about her origin. Also damn, now that I think about it, what other heroes and villains are in Metropolis that aren't related to Superman characters? And should Metropolis be made larger in scope with new areas of the cities made into distinctive "burroughs" for lack of a better term? I think Gotham has some but I struggle to recall them.Anyway, I looked up foxy and how it came to describe cunning and sexy women but there seems to be a niche/subset of that applied to mostly black women. I guess that's all under the same umbrella term but the 70's just so happened to also be the time where black people were starting to coalesce and conflict with others as they were represented in America. You can expect this type of thinking out of a teenager from the 60's which explains part of why he thought in some ways in later years.
>>153426723I mean, let's not pretend like there wasn't some clear resentment based on his actual expeiences working with either of them.
>>153422335If he named Wolverine, he did infact co-create the hero. It's a badass name and carried the character who was a manlet with pointy hands. Stan Lee has been credited for less.
>>153423033>acts on social mediaThis combination of words shouldn't be a thing. What "acts" are you committing on social media?
>>153434456That is a kino cover. His run had some really good underrated/underrepresented ones. It really is straddling the line between 60's far-out imagery like James Bond posters and that gritty 70's edge. Funny how Liz's hair and Frank to a degree are the most 70's parts of that image while everything else still looks like Romita's original run.>>153430054Really seems like only Gerry did much with Glory. I dunno if I like this Lobo angle. Funny how many werewolves he has involved in his stories.
>>153442202>Stan Lee has been credited for less.And that's not always a good thing, either.
>>153442222Checked and true. I'm just saying that Thomas did deserve royalties for his contribution. If it was a suit design or origin for his contribution, that'd be different. You could just have another writer or anybody change things later. That's why Miles coatrides the Spiderman name, because Kid Arachnid wouldn't sell and eventually shelf the character.
Anybody want ASM 121 and 122 storytimed?
>>153441803Type that again without crying
>>153441938>How does one into JSA? I know you'll probably say not to start with Golden Age stuff, so where is best?I mean you can take or leave the Golden Age stuff depending on whether or not you feel like you can read GA comics. Same with the Silver Age and Earth-Two stuff. For modern JSA the easiest is the Final Days of the Justice Society of America mini which took them out of play atter the Crisis (but explains how they're able to operate in the present), the 1991 JSA mini, Armageddon: Inferno which brought them back and the Strazewski/Mike Parobeck ongoing. The team gets fucked up in Zero Hour but returns in 1999 and you just go from there.Eh screw it, I have some time before work. Here's All-Star Comics #58-59 by Gerry Conway featuring the debut of Power Girl.
>>153442733You should
We finally get to the boob factory.
And the second part of this story.
That's it. Peej will be a JSA/Earth-Two character until after the Crisis where she'll bounce around for a while until the 1999 JSA series. Hope you enjoyed it.
>>153442776>featuring the debut of Power Girl.Wow, 1976. I thought that she was newer, I'm not a dcfag so I had no idea lol
>>153443223Many thanks. I was considering storytiming these two issues myself. And many thanks to Gerry for creating one of my favorite characters.>>153439233Two in one day? Damn. RIP, Len
>>153444394I kind of get the impression that Gerry going to DC was treated as a big deal. He went there and basically got handed the Trinity and JLA for a long time and even had his own little area that he wrote for/oversaw called Conway's Corner which is where stuff like Firestorm came from. It feels like it was a bigger deal for DC than even when they got Kirby and unlike with Kirby seemed to work out a lot better for them.
>>153444492Len was an off and on writer. The JSA series (cancelled because Mike Carlin didn't actually want a series starring older characters) and being one of the guys who helped found the Ultraverse are probably his biggest claims to fame in comics. But he was a journalist, especially medical journalism, and ran a journalism course for a university in Chicago.
>>153423261Sharty lost.
>>153420911>>153420914>At 19, Conway began scripting The Amazing Spider-Man, succeeding Stan Lee as writer of one of Marvel's flagship titles.Damn that's impressive. Props to them for accepting a 19 year old for such an important role too, it paid off. I wonder if companies nowadays are less likely to take a chance on younger people.RIP Gerry Conway
>>153420039>the millions he touched through his workOh my...
>>153442131>This was the 70s, so I hope female readers today will give us a bit of a pass on thisThat's some good grovelling. I hope he managed to ingratiate himself with modern feminists
