About the series
In 2023, Marvel launched Spider-Man: India, a five-issue series that reimagines the web-slinger through a distinctly Indian lens. Written by Nikesh Shukla with art by Tadam Gyadu and Abhishek Malsuni, the story follows Pavitr Prabhakar—a young man from Mumbai who takes on the mantle of Spider-Man—as he navigates a world that includes Aunt Maya, the sinister Dr. Kushal B. Kumar, and a local incarnation of the Lizard. This series stands out for its vibrant cultural specificity and its contribution to the global expansion of the Spider-Man mythos, offering a fresh take on the classic hero that resonates with contemporary readers.
