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.
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]
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 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 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.[15]
