Gwen Stacy was short lived in comic book time yet has an indelible place in comic history. Having New York’s most famous and notorious superhero fall in love with her would earn that for a girl permanently (see Mary Jane Watson). Yet Gwen’s immortality and importance to readers was an event so powerful it could create an epitaph that said: “Here Lies Gwen Stacy. Killed By The Green Goblin. And Maybe . . . Spider-Man.”
