Gil Kane

Superheltetegneserien mistede sin uskyldi 1970’erne. Dét skyldtes blandt andet et for alle Spider-man-fans tragisk, chokerende dødsfald, der skildres her i hovedværket ”Den dag Gwen Stacy døde”, som satte dybe spor i både Marvel-mytologien og genren som sådan. Tiden, hvor de gode var udødelige, var forbi,og den politiske virkelighed begyndte atsnige sig ind i de kulørte hæfter. Peter Parker aka. Spider-Man måtte begrave såvel en kæreste som en nær ven i nogle barske dramaer, der banede vej for paradigmeskiftet i 80’erne, da superheltegenren endegyldigt voksede ud af børneværelserne. En udvikling, der ikke mindst blev kickstartet af denne klassiske fortælling skrevet af legendariske Stan Lee og Gerry Conway og tegnet af stjerneholdet: John Romita, Gil Kane og Tony Mortellaro.
