A Moment of Comics

How about these election "precautions" Trump's administration is taking? Here's a totally unrelated page from Atari Force #5 written by Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas with art by Gil Kane and Dick Giordano.
 

An Early Moment of Comics

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.  

A Moment of Comics

RIP John Romita Sr. My parents would buy me comics during vacations so I would stay quiet in the back seat. Imagine having never heard of the "Death of Gwen Stacy" storyline and then having the climatic issue, published the same year you were born, somehow years later landing in your hands after Mom and Dad bought it at some general store on Cape Cod. Written by Gerry Conway, Romita's ink job (working with T. Motellaro did wonders with Gil Kane's pencils. And that cover. Romita's Spider-Man was surely my Spider-Man after this issue.
