The solution? Find and execute Agent Carey. On one particular mission, Agent Breen loses his partner Agent Carey and his superiors suspect the worst, that Agen Carey has turned and will reveal Top Secret information to the other side. A clandestine spy arm sent all over the world to perform the most dangerous of missions. MI-5 agent Breen is a member of the secretive Unit. So why had Titan Comics decided now is an appropriate time to try another Prisoner comic? Maybe it’s the 50th anniversary of the first US broadcast of the series? Or maybe it’s due to the buzz that Ridley Scott is attached to making a movie based on the property? Either way, this week saw the arrival of Titan’s The Prisoner #1. Eventually, a sequel to the series found print in a four-part series called Shattered Visage by Dean Motter and Mark Askwith from DC Comics. Infamously, Jack Kirby, Marv Wolfman, Steve Englehart, Gil Kane and Joe Staton have all been involved at one point or another. There have been a few comic book adaptations over the years. I’ve seen images, clips, the opening title sequence but I’ve never really sat and enjoyed the series. Sure, The Prisoner has been hovering on the edge of my pop culture periphery for almost my entire life. I will freely admit that I have yet to watch a single episode. It only lasted 17 episodes but the concepts and execution of the series made it a critical success and definitely put The Prisoner in the iconic “cult classic” category. Back in 1967, a quirky little show came on the air called The Prisoner.
In the “I Didn’t Know I Needed This” Department comes a comic book adaptation of a British TV series I doubt many of my readers have watched.
