Whilst the comic story isn't a direct part of the TV series, it features the characters played by Patrick Mcgoohan and Leo McKern (with their phsical appearances) and the whole thing was supervised and vetted by McGoohan himself, so as an official sequel it carries some credibility.
Incidentally, McGoohan discusses The Prisoner in this interview, transcribed here from Canadian television. |
Very interesting interview. So what happens in that comic? Is he still on the island. I suppose that might make sense with what the program was actually about.
Also, I didn't know that he created it, I thought he just acted in it.
