Yes, the Green Goblin killed Gwen by dropping her from the George Washington Bridge, but was Spider-Man's intervention the thing that actually took her life? It turns out the death as depicted has its roots in real-world science. In a panic, Spider-Man quickly shot a thin strand of web to catch Gwen by the leg, saving her from plunging to her death, but as many writers have suggested, the ill-judged move accidentally snapped her neck.
At the time, readers were unsure of what exactly happened: was it the whiplash that caused it? Had the Green Goblin already killed her before the fall? Or was it the shock of the fall itself that led to her demise?
Norman uses the opportunity to send his glider to impale Spider-Man from behind. Warned by his spider-sense, Peter jumps away just in time, and the glider instead impales the Green Goblin and seemingly kills him.
Peter goes home, feeling washed-out, hurt, and deeply empty. When he meets Mary Jane, her sympathy is lost on him. He only sees MJ as a carefree party girl; unable to feel his pain. But then, Mary Jane also cries, and for the first time, the two characters relate. Marvel Database Explore. Connect With Us Discord Twitter. Achievements Leaderboard List of Badges.

The stamp was designed to sit in the upper right corner of every comic book to show its readers that there was no overt violence, drugs, sex or foul language. Marvel made 3 issues Amazing Spider-Man 96, 97, and 98 in which the stamp was not on the cover of the book. Doing this opened up a world of opportunity for Marvel and comics DC followed shortly thereafter with the release of a Green Lantern storyline that focused on heroin addiction.
Comics began to focus less on childish stories and more on mature ones. We began to see issues that discussed: Racism , Drugs, Poverty, Sex , etc…. Here was Spider-Man, the everyday good-guy, faced with a situation that he could not come out on top of. No matter what happened, Gwen was destined to die.
If he had jumped off to save her, he would not have caught up with her and when he shot out his web, the whiplash broke her neck. Stan Lee made it a mission to have the character of Gwen Stacy illicit an emotional response from his readers when she walked into a room, uttered a single word or was placed in certain danger. She was an incarnation of love in a seemingly dark existence.
