Influential comics legend Gerry Conway, whose writing made an impact on key characters at both Marvel and DC Comics, has died. Across his long career, he co-created the Punisher—a very active character in the current Marvel TV realm—as well as Peter Parker’s clone, Ben Reilly, and the first Ms. Marvel.
