Neat reinvention...

In reading comics for a number of years, I've seen a few non-English editions here and there. They're pretty much the same American comics just with the words translated into another language. And most other nations have small comic book industries, with England's probably being the largest non-American market.

But this one's different.

It's Spider-Man, a poorish kid from India named Pavtir Prabhakar who is given powers from a great spirit who tells him that he must save the world from a great, green demon who is soon to turn the world into a demon world. The demon looks a lot like the Green Goblin, and the first villian that Pavtir fights is nicknamed Doctor Octopus though he got that way a lot differently than did good ol' Otto.

It's the same old story that just about every comic fan knows right down to the "with great power" bit from Uncle Bihm and Aunt Maya.

The art's a highlight as well, and the addition of a little glossary at the end of each issue is helpful. Certainly worth a read in the remixing of classic images in a way far further than even the excellent Spiderman Unlimited.
