The British illustrator, who has a history of mental illness, is alleged to have attacked police officers with a knife during an incident at his Ealing home.
Ewins inflicted minor injuries on one officer, who was investigating a noise complaint. The incident left the 56-year-old artist hospitalised, though he has since been discharged and appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court.
The judge ruled that Ewins is to be remanded into custody until a preliminary hearing on February 17, reports the Ealing Gazette.
An investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is under way to examine the role that the officers played in the incident.
Ewins is best known for his work on 2000 AD's popular strips Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper.
