"Clarence Gray (November 14, 1901 – January 5, 1957) was an American comic strip artist, best known for his long run drawing the science fiction adventure strip Brick Bradford for more than two decades. He also worked as a freelance illustrator for various magazines. Born in Toledo, Ohio, Gray called himself the "middle man" of three brothers. He was the son of Laura Jane and Val Gray, a construction worker. His father took little interest in his childhood drawings. "He just pitied me," recalled Gray. The red-haired youth began drawing trains and automobiles at an early age, teaching himself by making copies of magazine illustrations. He once described himself as a "red-headed, freckle-faced little punk." He concentrated on art courses in grade and high school, and after his high school graduation, he started his career at $18 a week doing sports and editorial cartoonist with the Toledo News-Bee. However, on his second week, he was surprised by a large raise, as detailed in a 1936 syndicated feature story on cartoonists:
Before he was out of his teens, Gray was working in the art department of Toledo newspaper... Then one Saturday the salary inexplicably jumped to $40. The boy sensed an error and sought the cashier. But that office was closed. During the weekend, Gray convinced himself his employer had recognized genius and rewarded it handsomely. But Blue Monday came. There had been a mistake. He wasn't due for even a 20 cent raise. Fury possessed the young artist. Forty dollars a week became his goal. He long ago surpassed it, of course; but recognition was considerably hastened by that early disappointment. 'I had to give it back the next Monday,' recalled Gray. 'It was a payroll mistake'."

Resum : |
"The titular hero, Brick, was a redheaded aviator who continually encountered fantastic situations. Initially, the strip was focused on Earth-bound, aviation-focused adventures, in a similar manner to Skyroads. However, as the strip developed, Brick Bradford increasingly featured fantastic elements in the manner of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. Ritt was an admirer of science fiction writers H. G. Wells, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Abraham Merritt, and drew on some of their ideas when writing "Brick Bradford". Brick Bradford now became more of a space opera/adventure story, with its tales of dinosaurs, lost civilizations, intergalactic villains, robots and subatomic worlds. By 1935, Brick Bradford's popularity had greatly increased, and it arrived in the Sunday comics sections of major newspapers in 1933, followed by a weekend edition that began November 24, 1934. In the daily strips Brick kept company with his friend, Sandy Sanderson, scientist Kalla Kopak, and June Salisbury, Brick's girlfriend and daughter of his ally, Van Atta Salisbury. The Sunday strips featured completely different characters and plots. Here Brick was often accompanied on his adventures by Professor Horatio Southern and his daughter April, who was Brick's love interest . Brick's enemies included Dr. Franz Ego, a spy; Avil Blue, inventor of a giant robot; and the "Assassins", descendants of the Middle Eastern sect of the same name. On April 20, 1935, the strip added a time machine, the Time Top, that traveled to both past and future, presaging Doc Wonmug's device in Alley Oop four years later." (www.wikipedia.org)
