Spider-Man Crawlspace Podcast

We go back to the Crawlspace archives for this 2008 interview with writer David Michelinie. He had one of the longest run on Amazing Spider-Man. He co-created Venom and Carnage. He also worked with artist Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen and Mark Bagley in the 1980s and 1990s. Before tackling Spider-Man he had an incredible run on Iron Man. He gave Tony Stark a drinking problem and a best friend in Jim Rhodes.

We lost Spider-Man legend Gerry Conway back in April of this year. It was 10 years ago that Brad had a chance to talk to him about his run on Spider-Man that lasted 40+ years. At the time of the interview Conway had returned to Marvel and was writing the Carnage ongoing title and the Renew Your Vows book with a married Peter Parker and Mary Jane.

During the interview we discuss.

• Why killing Gwen Stacy was the best thing to happen to the character
• How Mary Jane was a much better love interest for Peter Parker.
• Why Stan Lee possibly wrote Gwen as the main love interest
• Why he wanted to kill Norman and set up Harry as the main goblin
• His time working with Steve Ditko on a Spider-Man annual in the 1980s.
• His time working with JR from our podcast on the book Webslinger
• The differences in working in comics in the 70's and today.
• We also answer your dozens of questions from our message board.
• Discussion on the differences on working with John Romita, Gil Kane and Ross Andru
• Discussion on the new ongoing Renew Your Vows.
