Purchase options and add-ons

Judge Dredd, Johnny Nemo, Bad Company's Kano, Rogue Trooper, Veto Skreemer ... just some of the characters to pour from the pen-nib of Brett Ewins for comic publishers around the globe, including Marvel Comics, DC Comics and UK's Fleetway. In a frank interview, Ewins talks about his drawing techniques, his work habits and the years of stressful over-production that led to major illness and his early retirement from the harrowing production-line life that is the lot of most professional comic strip artists. And then there's the artwork, mostly shot from the over-sized originals, revealing just how Ewins' pens and brushes created these mini-masterpieces. Included here are inked comic pages, pencil drawings and full-colour paintings. A treaure trove of art, some of it previously unpublished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always nice to see Brett Ewins artwork
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2011
Print on demand: but my wait for delivery wasn't too long, and was worth it.

I should say that the book is more or less a detailed interview with Mr Ewins, but saying that, it does cast some light on his career prior to when I started following his work (around the time of Bad Company) and provides some nice details about the early days of 2000AD in general.
Other interesting information is on just how much input had into stories like Bad Company, Skreemer etc. (with the splendid Pete Milligan); it does make me want to read any stories written by him (must track down The Dark Gate anthology).

It also reads as a stern warning to artists being pushed too far in the comics industry, and the points made about "burn-out" are rather worrying. It's not an easy life, and not nearly as glamorous as you may think.

The book is packed with pages of art, primarily from 2000AD (if only there were more Skreemer and Johnny Nemo) with plenty of background information. There are also mentions of up-coming projects from Brett, and particularly tantalising is the possibility of some new Johnny Nemo.

The only negative to the book is that the cover wasn't new artwork. Still, a nice book for anyone interested in Brett's art, 2000AD and even Pete Milligan's earlier work.

Thanks guys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biased? You betcha ...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2011
I can't really review this as I was involved in the book's production - suffice it to say this story is in entirely Brett's own words and is heavily illustrated with his artwork, most of it scanned from the originals, almost all of it in full colour. The publisher's blurb from the back of the book says:

"Judge Dredd, Johnny Nemo, Bad Company's Kano, Rogue Trooper, Veto Skreemer ... just some of the characters to pour from the pen-nib of Brett Ewins for comic publishers around the globe, including Marvel Comics, DC Comics and UK's Fleetway. In a frank interview, Ewins talks about his drawing techniques, his work habits and the years of stressful over-production that led to major illness and his early retirement from the harrowing production-line life that is the lot of most professional comic strip artists. And then there's the artwork, mostly shot from the over-sized originals, revealing just how Ewins' pens and brushes created these mini-masterpieces. Included here are inked comic pages, pencil drawings and full-colour paintings. A treasure trove of art, some of it previously unpublished."

Brett hopes you enjoy it ...

5.0 out of 5 stars An out of the ordinary man and his life story.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2012
This is really nice book. The text comes over naturally as an honest account of a working life devoted to delivering quality. He talks about what he wanted to do and how he sought to achieve it. The illustrations draw you to looking at Ewins work with a different eye and you really do see the quality.
The story is that over work bought on a breakdown with long term consequences. It is not sentimental but revealing - if like me, you have never had a distinct talent you do get a feel for what it costs to pursue quality simply because you must.
I was never a great 2000AD reader, but a comic book reader and I enjoyed the insight into the production process with the human elements, and humour, of the trade. But mostly the sheer quality of the product. What is that quote about inspiration and perspiration? Here it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded expectations!

I was expecting a short introduction and then an art gallery. What I got was a long - very good - interview with Mr Ewins about his life, career, and art. Of course there was lots of fantastic art included as well. Also, a great chronological index of all of his published work. I highly recommend this book to fans of Ewins' art.
