@bashbro1able An irony for me is that comics writer Gerry Conway who did the iconic 'The Death of Gwen Stacy' storyline would a couple of years later do the 'Clone Saga' storyline which would bring Gwen back to life as a clone and IMHO somewhat cheapen her death, and this would be followed up by Marvel in the 21st century with a revelation that Gwen and Norman Osborn had had a relationship a one time when it was also revealed that N Osborn had survived his skewering by his Goblin Glider :-P

@bashbro1able I've been re-reading the stories with Gwen in the Marvel Masterworks Editions, and I think it's fascinating how much Gwen was conflicted over Peter Parker/Spider-Man far more so than MJ ever was, In alot of the late 1960s Stan Lee/ John Romita stories MJ for me comes across as an airhead with an attitude. but that's just me and my opinion, I didn't get into Spider-Man till after the Gwen era in the mid 1970s and MJ was the only female lead I knew about.

I actually don't like Gwen all that much. She had a boring personality compared to MJ in my opinion.

I love Gwen Stacy, and I do see what people mean when they say her and Peter just click. And yes, it would be as if DC killed off Lois Lane. But I think, that's what's makes Gwen's story so great. Knowing that Spidey lost his greatest love, just makes me like the series even more. It's painful, but it's so much more interesting to read.

Honestly, after reading a bunch of spider-man comic books, including "one more day" and even checking out a few comics with gwen alive, I believe gwen is a better choice for peter than mary jane. I mean I can't explain it but seeing gwen and peter together actually "clicks" but seeing mary jane and peter together, I can't see how they make a best couple.

Gwen's death was the equivalent of DC killing off Lois Lane-but DC would never have done that-Marvel ruled comics in those days!

its interesting that Gwen and Norman both died because the writers wrote both into a corner. Norman knew Peter was Spider-man but lost his memory and kept relapsing and getting amnesia, it made writing him a pain. Gwen was stuck hating Spider-man believing he killed her father while loving Peter, this made their relationship standing still. They came up with the story as a way to give both important characters iconic roles they deserve. It's interesting to imagine what could've been.
