Controversy

[edit]

In June 2020, Stewart was accused by multiple people of predatory sexual behavior. At the time the events happened, the accusers were much younger fans, friends or aspiring artists in their teens and early twenties, and Stewart was in his mid to late thirties. The accusers said that he used his status as a professional artist to get them to trust him, while all along this was a pretext for his real intent of making sexual advances, orgrooming.[11][12][13][14][15]Polygonreported that "according to some corroborating voices [...] Stewart's reputation for this behavior was widely known in Toronto's close-knit comics community".[12]

In response to this, DC dropped Stewart from an unannounced project he was working on.[14][13][16][17]W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo, creators of the Image Comics seriesIce Cream Man,canceled Stewart's variant cover to the next issue of the series.[13][18][17]
