Either way -- he is still missed. Those of us who knew him can draw some small solace from the thought that somewhere out there in the Multiverse there is a Mark Gruenwald who continues to work in a healthy, exciting comicbook industry, where Marvel Comics continues to publish the kind of books Mark loved so much.

There's a nice thought.

I didn´t know Mr. Gruenwald, but the way John describes him, he must have been a real gentleman. But I know his name was in many of the books I liked so much in those days.

Mr. Gruenwald is one of these man in the industry loved by everyone. It doesn't happen really often.

Last year an Italian site, ComicUS, produced a special pdf tribute about him, with reviews and interview: he was very appreciated here, too.

Mark Gruenwald is missed both as editor and as a writer. My first Gruenwald story was Spiderwoman (published in french Nova n°46 (Lug) with Spiderwoman and the Shroud on the cover) it was Spiderwoman #13 Shroud/Nekra part.1 (Writer: Mark Gruenwald, Artist: Carmine Infantino, Inker: Al Gordon, Editor: Roger Stern) or issue #14 (Shroud/Nekra part 2) I read the following issue (part 3.) too, and after that it was probably Marvel Team-Up Projet Pegasus (Gruenwald/Macchio/Byrne/Sinnott).

He proved himself a very good artist too with the Hawkeye limited series where he was both Writer and artist.

On Captain America I liked very much "Streets of Poison" and I read Quasar, which was a very good series.

I loved all that stuff too.

And Squadron Supreme, and D.P. 7, and probably other things I can't think of at the moment.

And what about M's Rems?  (Mark's Remarks, for anyone left headscratching!)  Fascinating stuff.  It was always great to reach the end of the story in a comic, and then find you'd got Mark's column to read.  (A bit like A Flame About This High in JBNM!)

I seem to recall there's a website where someone's posted all the old M's Rems columns...?  Can anyone provide a link?  I'd love to re-read them.
