Continuing our “Nova Week,” let’s link to CBR’s interview of Mahmud Asrar, the artist of “Nova” Annual No. 1.   Asrar is also the artist of Jay Faerber’s “Dynamo 5.”

Asrar said he tried to portray Nova’s everyman status:

“He’s very much like you or somebody you know very closely. In essence that’s something I tried to capture with my work. A normal college kid who’s experiencing something out of this world in his life, when he’s also forced to face the goodness and hero within him. So when trying to convey these attributes I really didn’t have too much trouble since I could consider my youth similar in some senses. I was never the popular kid nor was I the discarded outcast.”
