Al Ewing (/ˈjuːɪŋ/) is a British comics writer who has mainly worked in the small press, for 2000 AD, and for Marvel Comics.

Career

[edit]

Al Ewing began his career writing stories in the four-page Future Shocks format for 2000 AD and moved on to regular stints on Judge Dredd[1] (2008–2015), for which his 2010 story "Doctor What?" marked Brendan McCarthy's return to 2000 AD. They later worked together on a new series entitled The Zaucer of Zilk.[2][3] Ewing worked on Damnation Station and Zombo, the latter illustrated by Henry Flint, which was collected in trade paperback in 2010.

Ewing has also contributed to Solar Wind, FutureQuake, and The End Is Nigh. He is responsible for the mobile comic Murderdrome, created with P. J. Holden.

In May 2007, Ewing created the comedy blog "The Diary of Ralph Dibney", writing as the titular DC Comics superhero (also known as Elongated Man), Dibney's therapist, or as the even more obscure DC Hero Richard Dragon, as they react to the events of each week's issue of the comic book 52.[4]

Breaking into American comic books, Ewing was also picked by Garth Ennis to provide a six-issue arc on Jennifer Blood, published by Dynamite Entertainment,[5][6] and a spin-off series The Ninjettes.[7]

His debut prose novel Pax Britannia: El Sombra, published by Abaddon Books in 2007, features a mysterious Mexican hero fighting back against the menace of steam-powered Nazis.[8] It is set in the same Steampunk alternate history as the other novels from the Pax Britannia series. Three other novels have been published since, with a fifth on the way.

Ewing wrote Mighty Avengers and Loki: Agent of Asgard for Marvel Comics[9] and co-wrote the first year of the Eleventh Doctor Doctor Who title with Rob Williams for Titan Comics.[10]

Ewing has since written New Avengers, U.S.Avengers, Ultimates, Rocket, Royals, and The Immortal Hulk, all for Marvel. The Immortal Hulk was a nominee for the 2019 Eisner Award in the "Best Continuing Series" category,[11] and had earned publisher Marvel Comics a Diamond Gem Award the previous year as "Best New Comic Book Series."[12]

In 2021, Ewing won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book at the 32nd GLAAD Media Awards for his work on Empyre and received an additional nomination in 2021 and one in 2022 for Guardians of the Galaxy.[13] In June 2021, it was announced that Ewing would serve as co-writer of Venom (vol. 7) alongside Ram V, with Bryan Hitch serving as the initial artist and the series launching in November that same year.[14]

During Marvel's Krakoan Age, Ewing was the writer on several X-Men titles such as the ongoing series S.W.O.R.D. (2020–2021), the flagship series X-Men Red (2022–2023) and the limited series Resurrection of Magneto (2024).[15][16][17][18] In May 2023, it was announced that Ewing would write The Immortal Thor, with Martín Cóccolo serving as artist and set to debut in August that same year.[19]

Personal life

[edit]

Ewing has a brother, Tom Ewing, who writes critical essays on music and pop culture. He created the website FreakyTrigger,[20] to which Al was an occasional contributor in its early days.[21]

At the end of Pride Month 2021, Ewing came outasbisexual.[22]
