Al Ewing began his career writing stories in the four-page Future Shocks format for 2000 AD and eventually moved on to regular stints on Judge Dredd where he wrote a story, "Doctor What?" that marked Brendan McCarthy's return to 2000 AD and the two would go on to work together on a new series The Zaucer of Zilk. He worked on Damnation Station and Zombo, illustrated by Henry Flint, which was collected in trade paperback in 2010.
He has also contributed to Solar Wind, FutureQuake, The End Is Nigh. Ewing is responsible for the mobile comic Murderdrome with P. J. Holden.
In May 2007, Ewing created the comedic blog "The Diary of Ralph Dibney", in which he writes as the superhero Elongated Man, his therapist, or Richard Dragon, reacting to the events of each week's issue of the comic book 52.
Breaking into American comic books, Ewing was also picked by Garth Ennis to provide a six-issue arc on Jennifer Blood, a comic published by Dynamite Entertainment, and a spin-off series The Ninjettes.
Ewing's debut novel was published in 2007 by Abaddon Books. Pax Britannia: El Sombra features a mysterious Mexican hero fighting back against the menace of steam-powered Nazis. 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.

He has since written New Avengers, U.S.Avengers, Ultimates, Rocket, Royals, and The Immortal Hulk, all for Marvel.
The Immortal Hulk, an ongoing where Ewing's inspiration stemmed from Bruce Banner's demise in Civil War II, was a nominee for the 2019 Eisner Award in the "Best Continuing Series" category, and had earned publisher Marvel Comics a Diamond Gem Award the previous year as "Best New Comic Book Series."
In the summer of 2020, Ewing scripted and co-wrote with writer Dan Slott on the Marvel Comics event Empyre, which was the culmination of the Kree-Skrull War. Spinning from it was S.W.O.R.D., a run focused on Abigail Brand and her contracts, working for Jonathan Hickman's X-Office.
