Iconic Marvel and DC comic book writer, Gerry Conway, best known for his run following Stan Lee on Amazing Spider-Man in the 1970s (where he wrote the story that killed off Gwen Stacy, and the first Clone Saga) and creating major Marvel and DC characters such as Punisher, Jason Todd (the second Robin), Firestorm and Power Girl, posted on social media about his health struggles since last fall.Conway explained that fans might have noticed that he had been absent from social media for most of this year, and he revealed that the reason for his absence was his struggles with pancreatic cancer, and complications from his treatment for the disease, but he at least appears to be cancer-free for now.Conway noted, “Last October I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and I had Whipple surgery to remove the tumor, including my gall bladder, some of my intestines, and rearrange most of my lower body parts. The good news is, praise Cthulhu, as of January, I’m now cancer free. The bad news is, praise Cthulhu, there were complications.”RELATED: Why Didn’t Gerry Conway’s First DC Story Appear Until Almost a Decade After He Sold It?
