Brett Ewins is a British 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 and Penguin 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 like Peter Milligan, Alan Grant and Alan 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 by Cyberosia Publishing.

Ewins currently paints and has had a number of exhibitions.
