Prolific comic writer Gerry Conway (1952-2026) has left us. Gerry's legacy includes work for Marvel, DC and others and on the Conan the Destroyer movie with Roy Thomas. It includes stories, characters, editorial work, and more. His legacy will endue.

He also co-wrote the animated Fire & Ice movie. Wasn't aware (or maybe I just forgot) that he was involved with Conan the Destroyer...cool. I've warmed up to that movie as an older adult lol.
