comic book artist best known for his work on "Judge Dredd " and "Rogue Trooper " in the weekly comic book "2000 AD".Biography
Ewins studied at Goldsmiths College and graduated in 1977 and soon started providing covers for "2000 AD", the first being issue #33 published in October of the same year.
Ewins formed a long-term collaborative partnership with fellow artist
Brendan McCarthy , working together on such strips as "Bad Company". Bad Company was a sci-war epic, written by Peter Milligan with artwork by Ewins and Jim McCarthy (brother of Brendan).Along with
Steve Dillon , he started the comic magazine "Deadline" in 1988, which continued for another seven years.In 1991 Ewins "suffered a serious breakdown from overwork" and was unable to take on work that had a deadline, which led to lost commissions from
DC Comics andPenguin Books .Ewins, Brett "Introduction," "The Dark Gate" page 4-5] His plan to recover was to create an anthology based on work from friends in the industry likePeter Milligan , Alan Grant andAlan McKenzie , as well as friends like musician Michael White. The volume was finished off with, "Machine," a story written by Brett based on his breakdown. [Ewins, Brett "Afterword," "The Dark Gate" page 62-63] He worked on the stories from 1995 to 2003 and they were published in 2004 byCyberosia Publishing .Ewins currently paints and has had a number of exhibitions.
