"Artist Joe Bennett is being accused of putting anti-Semitic imagery into Immortal Hulk #43, which hit stores this week.
The issue features the Grey Hulk, Joe Fixit, in control of Bruce Banner's body. Fixit-as-Banner is a con artist grifting his way through New York City, who finds himself unable to avoid stepping into a fight when he sees a Black teen being assaulted by police officers. During one of his scams, Joe-as-Banner buys some jewelry with a stolen credit card to pawn it later. In the panel where he purchases the jewelry, we see that the name of the store (written in reverse as it's seen through the window) is Cronemberg's Jewelry, except that instead of "Jewelry," the L is omitted and it says "Jewer" (presumably "Jewery," but the Y is blocked out), along with the Star of David, a well-known Jewish symbol, in the display."
