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.

The trade paperback included a two-page text piece that explained the surreal final episode, "Fall Out" as drug-induced hallucination.… (mehr)
Artymedon: It is a book over the Prisoner's village utopian architecture in Wales, England and the comic novel is a return to this same village many years later.
A graphic novel sequel to The Prisoner, published 20 years later. The Village has been closed for years, but a former Number Two exposes many of its secrets in a Spycatcher-like memoir. Meanwhile Alice Drake, an agent on a sailing holiday from a failing marriage, gets shipwrecked in this place with very weird architecture....
I generally liked Shattered Visage. It is very true to the original TV series visually and psychologically; the characters are beautifully drawn and entirely recognisable. I was a bit disappointed with the ending which felt both rushed and inconclusive. But basically this is a worthy addition to Prisoner canon. ( )

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown and wrinkled lips, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, the heart that fed, And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
