Al Ewing, born on 12 August 1977, is a British comics writer whose career spans small press work, the storied British anthology 2000 AD, and an extensive run at Marvel Comics. He came up through independent and small press channels before establishing himself at 2000 AD, where he developed the sharp plotting and genre-blending sensibility that would define his later work.

At Marvel, Ewing has proven remarkably prolific, credited on over 430 issues between 2008 and 2026. His work on team books such as Avengers, New Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy demonstrated a gift for juggling large casts while keeping individual character voices distinct. He also contributed to the creator-owned series Jennifer Blood during this period.

The work that brought him the widest recognition is Immortal Hulk, a slow-burn horror take on Bruce Banner that ran for an acclaimed multi-year stretch and is widely regarded as one of the more distinctive superhero comics of its era. The series leaned into body horror and existential dread in ways that departed sharply from typical Marvel fare, earning Ewing considerable critical attention.
