* HeroesWantRedheads: ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson was his favorite Spider-Man supporting character; Conway believed she was the "most interesting woman in comics" and simply had to be Spider-Man's true love, so that was bye bye Gwen.

->''"In his 40 issues on [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Amazing Spider-Man]] (#111-149), Conway did more than you'd see in a HUNDRED issues of most other comics. He introduced one of Marvel's biggest characters, ComicBook/ThePunisher, he developed ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson into one of the best supporting characters in Marvel Comics history, he introduced the world to the idea of the "[[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga Clone Saga]]" and, most notably of all, he wrote one of the single most famous Spider-Man storylines, [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied the Death of Gwen Stacy]], as Peter Parker loses [[ComicBook/GwenStacy his girlfriend]] to his nemesis, [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn the Green Goblin]]."''

Conway began his career as one of many fans turned comics writers. He wrote his first story at [[ChildProdigy the age of 16]] for Creator/{{DC|Comics}}'s ''House of Secrets'' before going over to Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}}, whose revolution he had already experienced at ground zero, with many of his fan letters published in the pages. Eventually editor Roy Thomas got him to work on a number of characters before Conway earned the daunting and prestigious task of writing for ComicBook/SpiderMan after Creator/StanLee stepped down. Despite having the proverbial ToughActToFollow, Conway quickly made his mark, creating characters like Hammerhead, the Punisher (introduced in a Spider-Man story), the Jackal, as well as the Spider-Mobile. Years later he returned to Spider-Man and created another popular minor villain in Tombstone.

* DoorClosesEnding: He used this twice with many noting that it served as bookends for his iconic run on ASM. The end of ''The Night Gwen Stacy Died'' has MJ firmly shut the door to stay with Peter with a "click" noise signifying her resolve and commitment. [[BookEnds Comes full circle]] in Conway's final issue, 149, which ends with Peter returning to his apartment to find MJ waiting for him, and this time he closes the door with a "click" [[SexyDiscretionShot as he resolves]] [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar to show MJ]] [[TheirFirstTime how glad]] he is to see her, showing his commitment to MJ and that he's moved on from Gwen to his true love.
