Gerry Conway Interview 2016

Listen Later

We lost Spider-Man legend Gerry Conway back in April of this year. It was 10 years ago that Brad had a chance to talk to him about his run on Spider-Man that lasted 40+ years. At the time of the interview Conway had returned to Marvel and was writing the Carnage ongoing title and the Renew Your Vows book with a married Peter Parker and Mary Jane.

During the interview we discuss.

  • Why killing Gwen Stacy was the best thing to happen to the character
  • How Mary Jane was a much better love interest for Peter Parker.
  • Why Stan Lee possibly wrote Gwen as the main love interest
  • Why he wanted to kill Norman and set up Harry as the main goblin
  • His time working with Steve Ditko on a Spider-Man annual in the 1980s.
  • His time working with JR from our podcast on the book Webslinger
  • The differences in working in comics in the 70's and today.
  • We also answer your dozens of questions from our message board.
  • Discussion on the differences on working with John Romita, Gil Kane and Ross Andru
  • Discussion on the new ongoing Renew Your Vows.
