Profile: Glory Grant

Glory Grant
First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #140, January 1975
Creators: Gerry Conway, Ross Andru

History: introduced as a replacement for Betty Brant as a secretary at the Daily Bugle, Glory Grant first premiered as a new neighbor of Peter Parker's, and he helped her obtain the job at the newspaper shortly after they first met.

Was she subjected to any acts of discrimination? Fortunately, within all the time she'd appeared up to the turn of the century, nothing severe ever occurred. However, after the time when J. Michael Straczynski became writer, it wouldn't be shocking if Glory was subjected to some very bad writing in the years that followed.

Was there anything good to come of this? From what I can tell, Glory may not have been in much use for a long time now. If not, that's fortunate in itself. The less use made of some characters, the better, though at this point, if Marvel did fold as a publisher, it would certainly be for the best, Glory included.
