THE PRISONER COMIC STRIP BY JACK KIRBY

Yesterday I mentioned that the editor of TV Century 21, Alan Fennell had decided against a comic strip version of The Prisoner, and I speculated how it might have been.

During the mid seventies, Marvel Comics toyed with the idea of producing a Prisoner comic strip, with Stan Lee eventually giving the job to artist, Jack Kirby.

Unfortunately, Stan Lee decided to cancel the project prior to publication. However Jack did  produce a first instalment based on the first episode, 'Arrival', and although some of the artwork was not inked and had incomplete dialogue, temporarily pencilled in, it does give a flavour of what would have been the first Prisoner comic strip.
