The Prisoner: Shattered Visage Summary

The Prisoner: Shattered Visage by Dean Motter

The official authorized sequel to the original TV show starring Patrick McGoohan and Leo McKern.

Set 20 years after the events of the original TV show, the comic co-written with Mark Askwith follows former secret agent Alice Drake as she is dragged back into her old life following a ship wrecking that sees her washed up on the shores of The Village and discovers that old secrets and old spies never die.


Set twenty years after the final episode of the television series, Shattered Visage follows former secret agent Alice Drake as she is shipwrecked on the shores of the Village and encounters an aged Number Six, who is still locked into a decades-old conflict with his old nemesis Number Two for the future of the deserted spy village. Meanwhile, back in London conflicting intelligence agencies fight to gain control of the intelligence mine that is The Village, and the deadly secret lying at its very core.

The trade paperback included a two-page text piece that explained the surreal final episode, Fall Out as drug-induced hallucination.

The Prisoner: Shattered Visage Reviews

This graphic novel adaptation embraces everything Prisoner and envelopes readers in the nostalgia and delirium of the original broadcast.... This mesmerizing work of graphic fiction delivers sublime art by veteran creator Motter (Classics Illustrated; Batman: Black & White) and immersive storytelling from both Motter and Askwith (Batman; Justice League International). An excellent choice for any collection. - Library Journal Starred Review

Original, dramatic, inherently fascinating...a wonderful treat for the legions of fans of The Prisoner television show and will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to community library Graphic Novel collections. -- Midwest Book Review

A welcome and timely addition to Titan's library of Prisoner content that feels as contemporary and relevant now as it did 30 years ago. If you don't already own it, this handsome edition is a great release. 9/10 - SciFi Bulletin
