Artists Mark Bagley, Kev Walker, and Kael Ngu, along with writer Jed MacKay, remain on the book.īut here's the question I have: Why did it take so long? This isn't the first time Bennett has been accused of drawing offensive material.

That comic, due out in December, is expected to be an introduction to the future of the Marvel Universe. In the updated press release, Greg Land replaced Bennett. The company not only declared it will no longer give the popular artist more assignments, but it fired Bennett from the upcoming special event issue Timeless #1, which had just been announced a week ago with Bennett as one of the pencilers. We're not showing the image but what Bennett drew speaks for itself, and there's no defending its repulsive imagery.Ĭredit to Marvel for taking decisive action here. Bolsonaro's foes are shown having large noses and buck teeth, images that some people, including this writer, saw as being antisemitic. On Bolsonaro's chest plate is the Brazilian Republic symbol, and the red flags of his enemies are PTs, a leftist organization in Brazil. It shows Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro riding atop a horse with a sword in hand as he threatens caricatures of his political adversaries including former Presidents Dilma Rousseff, Luiz Inácio da Silva, and Michel Temer, and veteran legislator Aécio Neves. The publisher last week confirmed that Bennett will no longer be working for the company following the controversy surrounding the cartoon, which Bennett reportedly drew back in 2017.

In a move some would say is long overdue, Marvel Comics has severed its ties to artist Joe Bennett after readers accused him of antisemitism for a political illustration he did several years ago.
