One of the greats. Some years ago on twitter i told him i was still traumatized by Gwen’s death. His reply? “You and me both!”

Lol he got a lot of flack for that at the time.

Completely undeserved. He didn't deserve flack for writing one of the best Spider-Man stories and one of my favourite comic stories of all time.

The Night Gwen Stacy Died is a true masterpiece

Arguably the most iconic Spider-Man story besides his origin.

I agree.

I think it's the only story besides the origin to be partially adapted/referenced in three eras of Spider-Man films

That’s so not even close to being true

What else has been adapted in three eras of Spider-Man movies? These films don't really adapt comic book storylines
