History

Gray has created plenty of works for Archie Comics, and is mostly remembered for the first story that he drew in Sonic the Hedgehog #134. He provided the Off Panel for both Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Universe, taking the place of Steven Butler as Off Panel artist. Lamar Wells would since succeeded Gray as the Off Panel provider for the regular Sonic the Hedgehog comics.

Rejected/Discarded work

Archie Comics

Several concept designs for characters featured in the "Return to Angel Island" arc seen in Sonic the Hedgehog #138-#141. These included designs for Lien-Da, Lara-Le, Wynmacher, Kneecaps, Remington, and an early Dr. Finitevus design with third eye.
Original Battle Bird Armada and Bean the Dynamite designs; elements of the former were incorporated into the Armada's designs when they debuted in Sonic Universe #17-#20.

Trivia

Gray has stated that his least favorite work in the Archie Comics series is "Home: Epilogue" due to him being the one who drew the infamous scene where Sally slaps Sonic.
