Did Gwen Stacy Die?

Yes — Gwen Stacy died in one of the most iconic and heartbreaking moments in comic history. In The Amazing Spider-Man #121 (1973), the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) kidnapped Gwen and threw her off the George Washington Bridge. Spider-Man shot out a web to catch her, but the sudden stop snapped her neck — she was gone before she hit the web. Her death marked a turning point for the medium, signaling that comics could tell darker, more permanent stories. She was later 'replaced' in Peter's life by Mary Jane Watson, and her legacy has loomed over Spider-Man stories ever since.
