My Take
Conway is one of those writers whose fingerprints are everywhere even when his name isn't. Co-creating the Punisher, Ben Reilly, the Jackal and the first Ms. Marvel means he seeded characters that now anchor blockbuster franchises decades after he typed them. What fascinates me is his range, sliding between comics, science fiction prose, screenwriting and television production without losing his voice. The 2013 Inkpot Award only formalized what the industry already knew. He passed in 2026, but for me he embodies the unglamorous truth that creators, not corporations, build mythologies, and that good writing simply outlives its author.
