Description
The world is in need of a superhero. Not to stop a speeding train, or to scale a skyscraper in pursuit of masked marauders. But to face the vile nemesis that children of all races and religions battle on a daily basis - cancer. Nistar is a 116 page, full color graphic novel about JJ Barak, the world's first superhero for children fighting cancer, illustrated by renowned comic book artist Josef Rubinstein. Foreword written by Michael Uslan, executive producer of the Batman movie franchise. Nistar tells the tale of a young doctor, JJ Barak, who discovers a mystical stone with untapped powers. He attempts to harness its powers and save the life of one of his patients fighting cancer. His journey takes him out of the cancer ward and into a parallel realm called Nistar, a place where all things intangible, including a person's thoughts, dreams, and fantasies, manifest themselves in physical form. It is in this place that JJ Barak confronts Karkin, the Demon of Disease, in an epic battle against childhood cancer. Along the way para-human characters guide our hero on his turbulent journey and draw the reader into a highly imaginative, page turning adventure.
