Spider-Man: India #1 Launch Party With Nikesh Shukla

Pavitr Prabhakar, the Spider-Man of India, swings his way back onto our shelves with a brand new issue of Spider-Man: India! We're thrilled to be welcoming the writer, Nikesh Shukla, to the shop for a launch party on Friday 16th June 2023, from 7-9pm.

Nikesh Shukla, acclaimed London-based author and screenwriter, is best known for lending his formiddable narrative talents to novels such as Coconut Unlimited or The One Who Wrote Destiny, short filmThe Two Dosas and his memoir, Brown Baby. As a massive life long fan of comics, Nikesh is excited to write a tale of Mumbai's own friendly neighborhood web-slinger. Here's what publisher Marvel say about the issue:

SPIDER-MAN: INDIA RETURNS! Just in time for his big role on the silver screen, Spider-Man: India returns for his first miniseries in almost twenty years! Pavitr Prabhakar is back, fresh from “The End of the Spider-Verse” in his own universe’s Mumbai. But things aren’t exactly simple. There’s a science professor promising results, activating people’s “lizard brain” along with a ruthless businessman who may be more than he seems… Don’t miss the break-out Spider-Character of 2023!

Join Nikesh and ourselves for the launch party of Spider-Man: India on Friday 16th June, from 7-9pm. You can pre-order a signed copy of the issue from our website for mail-order or collection by clicking here.
