This man defined my Bronze Age origins. RIP Gerry.
Gerry Conway has passed at 73. He leaves an incredible legacy. Co-creator of Punisher, Power Girl, Firestorm, Killer Croc, Jason Todd, Ms. Marvel.
He also wrote a lot of tv including Law & Order.
Best remembered for The Night Gwen Stacy Died? Probably?
My condolences to his family and friends.

14 years ago I pitched what would become Polygon to a startup called Sports Blogs Inc on the unfurnished third floor of a DC townhome. I held a laptop on my knees and went through a deck.
Today that same company -- now called Vox Media -- sold Polygon to Valnet.
