Justin Gray is an American comic book writer based in Ossining, New York, who has built a substantial career primarily at DC Comics spanning more than two decades. He is perhaps best recognized for his long-running creative partnership with Jimmy Palmiotti, a collaboration that has produced some of DC's more distinctive genre work.
The Resistance #1 (2002)
Gray's output has been notably prolific and varied. Since his comics debut around 2002, he has accumulated credits on nearly 380 issues across a wide range of titles through 2025. His most substantial contributions have come on the revisionist Western series Jonah Hex and its follow-up All Star Western, where his partnership with Palmiotti helped revitalize the grizzled bounty hunter as a compelling antihero for contemporary readers. Beyond the frontier genre, Gray has demonstrated real versatility — working on superhero team books like Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters, the sprawling crossover series Countdown, and the globe-trotting adventure title Batwing. Earlier in his career he also contributed to 21 Down, signaling an early comfort with unconventional storytelling.
The Resistance #2 (2002)
Gray's body of work is defined less by a single signature style than by a willingness to engage with underserved corners of the DC universe, often bringing a grounded, character-driven sensibility to material that might otherwise feel marginal. No major award credits are documented in available sources.
