Nistar
Shira Frimer - 2013
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.

Catnip: A Love Story
Michael Korda - 2018
They loved and acquired cats—a habit written about previously in their book, Cat People—and the few in residence at this time would serve as inspiration for the drawings. These are no ordinary cat illustrations, though. Korda’s cats read newspapers and books; go ice skating in the small country town where they live; comfort Margaret’s horse, Monty, after a stressful vet visit; sell fried mice at the Farmer’s Market, and undertake (on paper, at least) whatever fanciful endeavors their keeper conjures up. The result is a collection of magical pieces, filled with joy, that represent a year in the life of a couple in love with one another, and certainly with their cats.
