Novel is set 20 years after the events of the classic TV series.
Fans of cult classic The Prisoner will finally get a sequel, with Titan Comics revealing that it will publish a graphic novel set 20 years after the events of the TV series.
Confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con last week, Shattered Visage – which was originally published in 1988 – 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.
Titan Comics – a licensee of brand owner ITV Studios Global Entertainment – will release the out of print title with new material, including character sketches and notes from writer/artist Dean Motter.
Dean commented: “When I was approached to do a series based on The Prisoner, I leapt at the chance. 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.”
Shattered Visage will join Titan’s line-up of titles based on The Prisoner, which includes The Prisoner Art Edition, as well as new mini-series The Prisoner: The Uncertainty Machine.
