"'She was a nonentity, a pretty face,' [writer Gerry Conway] said. 'She brought nothing to the mix. It made no sense that Peter Parker would end up with a babe like that who had no problems. Only a damaged person would end up with a damaged guy like Peter Parker. And Gwen Stacy was perfect.... Killing Gwen was a totally logical if not inevitable choice.'" — Sean Howe, Marvel Comics: The Untold Story. Harper: 2012, p. 137.
