Not to mention that it helped readers realize that a death in the comics didn't always mean a miraculous return. Up until recently the "gold standard" of death in a comic was Bucky Barnes until they decided to bring him back too! Now no death, no matter how final, can't be undone with even the most far-fetched concept.Ace Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834752983231662458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107193537171554216.post-32317739801817242282012-01-14T10:52:36.270-05:002012-01-14T10:52:36.270-05:00Gwen Stacy's death was one of the few comic bo...Gwen Stacy's death was one of the few comic book deaths that really affected me.

Those stories still hold up. <br /><br />I worked in a used book store while in high school during the 70's. I helped the owner start trading in used comics. I got first pick of all the best stuff. I picked up a lot of early Marvel. Most were in very good shape. I still have the issue of Spiderman with the death of Gwen Stacy.Ace Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834752983231662458noreply@blogger.com
