After reading David Adesnik's musings on comic book philosophy the other day, I stumbled onto an interview with Sharad Devarajan on NPR's Fresh Air. Devarajan runs Gotham Entertainment Group, which is licensing Marvel superheroes in South Asia.
Their first title is Spider-Man India, with Pavitr Prabhakar as our beloved Peter Parker. Leave aside, for a moment, the wonderful idea of what a Bollywood version of Spider-Man would look like. But I'm curious how Hindu thought and philosophy will gel with the Western moral imperatives of our comic books, and what kind of new comic book philosophy will result. Maybe a good piece for David? I know a website which would be interested . . .
