Nagraj, the popular comic book superhero, is all set to face-off with ‘Coronaman’, in a bid to raise awareness
We don’t need superpowers to beat the . We need to stay home.” This isn’t a quote from a Covid-19 awareness speech. This is ’ popular superhero Nagraj, first introduced in 1986, recognising the correct action to defeat his latest nemesis ‘Coronaman’. While health workers and authorities are pulling out all the stops to contain the spread of the virus, in the fictional city Mahanagar, has already eradicated it.
Around the end of March, the publishing house released a nine-page special issue, Nagraj Strikes: The Attack Of Coronaman, on social media — the issue can be read on Instagram and can also be downloaded as a PDF, in Hindi and English, from their Facebook page. In this issue, Nagraj has been tasked to prevent the character Coronaman from infecting people with Covid-19.
Father-son duo (president, Raj Comics) and (brand manager for the comics publishing house) have conceptualised the story. The idea came about when their social media and WhatsApp feeds were flooded with messages about Covid-19.
“We thought why not appeal to our readers through the medium of comics,” says Ayush of the issue, which is very much a tribute to everyone who is on the frontline, fighting this virus.
While a page of a comic book is typically created over two days, the team got this nine-page edition out in just 72 hours. “Initially, we thought that Nagraj will defeat Coronaman,” he says. “But on further discussion, we decided that we should reinforce the message that the government is trying to spread — people can help fight this disease by staying home. Hence, in this edition, the emphasis was more on the common people than on Nagraj.”
Case in point: In one of the chapters, when Coronaman tries to enter a selfquarantined home, he is unable to spread the virus because the family has acted responsibly and followed the necessary guidelines to stay safe. That’s when Nagraj realises, it’s not his superpower, but the wise decision of people to stay at home that can save his city.
The comic’s art creator R was provided a page-bypage description with the chronology of the situations that take place and given creative liberty to create Coronaman. In the comic, Coronaman is brown and green in colour with pink spots on his body and spikes on his head. “Most of the images on Covid-19 that I see on TV influenced the look of the character,” says the artist. Ashwin imagined the villain to be spiky and big. “When I was drawing my pages, I thought that his power is to spread viruses. So, I included the element of particles coming out of him,” he says. The challenge, for Aswin, however, was to fit as much information as possible on a single page, without making it seem
