No one dies as well as supporting characters do in comics. No one comes back form the dead the way supporting characters often do. A page form The Amazing Spider-Man #400 where Aunt May dies "for real." Story written by J. M. DeMatteis, penciled by Mark Bagley and inked by Larry Mahlstedt.
Gerry Conway passed away a couple of days ago. I saw his work sporadically in the eighties (a few issues of Firestorm), likely seeing more of his work via television and cinema. I didn't pay much to writers for a long time. The first time I ever noticed his name was in Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #8, where he closed the chapter on Gwen Stacy via a supposed clone.
