From Fan to Legend: The Story of Gerry Conway
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before he was shaping the Marvel Universe, Gerry Conway was a teenager from Brooklyn with a letter printed in Fantastic Four #50. Just three years later, he was a published writer at DC Comics. By 19, he was scripting The Amazing Spider-Man—and soon after, he would pen one of the most pivotal moments in comic history: the death of Gwen Stacy.
In this episode of Back to Pop, Gerry takes us through his journey from wide-eyed fan to one of the most influential storytellers in comics. We explore the creation of iconic characters like The Punisher, Firestorm, and Killer Croc, the emotional core behind Fire & Ice and Conan the Destroyer, and the unmade live-action X-Men film that could have changed everything.
From TV scripts to comic scripts, from archetypes to anti-heroes, Gerry’s career is a masterclass in storytelling across mediums. This is the story of a writer who gave us grief, rage, hope—and heroes who still resonate today.
New episodes of Back to Pop drop every Thursday at 6:00 AM ET.
