Morrow Takes Over Flash Gordon-1991
Often cited as the regular artist on FLASH GORDON, Gray's actual tenure in 1991 on the daily strips was rather brief. After a couple of fill-ins earlier in the year during the very stylized Bruce Jones/Ralph Reese run on the classic newspaper strip, Gray took over in the middle of a sequence with Flash turning from a winged creature back to a human.Note that in the two transitional strips, the credits disappear, only to turn up again as Jones/Morrow. By The end of the summer, King Features had passed the art to a studio of anonymous South American artists.

Midnight

Tim F., a friend of Gray's, passed along this movie poster art and the story behind it.

Tim Says: This art was for the first campaign and used in ads, the one sheet, pressbook, etc. However, it didn't quite achieve the desired result and a second piece of art was later commissioned that steered away from the action-thriller approach. The second piece (not by Gray) was horror-themed. A few years ago, Sam (Sherman, producer) was clearing out some inventory and decided to sell several pieces of art, one of which was Gray's MIDNIGHT. He put me in charge of the disposal. The painting was eventually sold to a fan in England and that is where it resides to this day.

Thanks, Tim!
