In news coming out of Comic-Con, Titan has announced that it is set to publish the long out of print official sequel to the classic TV series The Prisoner with the release of The Prisoner: Shattered Visage.
Originally published in 1988, Shattered Visage tells the story of former secret agent Alice Drake, whose round-the-world solo voyage is interrupted when she is accidentally shipwrecked and washes up on the shores of The Village. There she encounters Number Six, finds out what has become of Number Two, and discovers the true purpose of The Village.
“When I was approached to do a series based on The Prisoner, I leapt at the chance,” said writer and artist Dean Motter. “It was one of my favourite TV shows when it first aired … My thinking turned to doing it as a post-modernist fable – one that took place in the current era, but that would re-open the questions from the original saga. However, doing the research was going to take more resources than I had – so I drafted my friend and colleague Mark Askwith to help me with that aspect of the project. It became a collaboration almost instantly. I am honoured to see it re-presented as part of Titan’s ongoing celebration of The Prisoner’s 50thanniversary.”
The Prisoner: Shattered Visage will be released later this year.
