The Prisoner: Book C – Confrontation (1988) continues the surreal and cerebral narrative inspired by Patrick McGoohan’s cult-classic 1960s television series The Prisoner. Published by DC Comics as the third entry in the limited series, this comic adaptation remains a gripping exploration of surveillance, identity, and psychological resistance, making it a must-have for fans of dystopian fiction, Cold War-era commentary, and mind-bending storytelling.

This chapter, titled Confrontation, delves deeper into the twisted machinations of The Village, the enigmatic and oppressive setting where former spy Number Six finds himself trapped. In a world where nothing is as it seems, freedom is an illusion, and everyone is a potential traitor, Number Six must face a decisive moment of reckoning. With secrets unravelling and trust crumbling, his confrontation with the powers behind The Village reaches new intensity.

Written by Dean Motter with contributions from Mark Askwith, the story retains the cerebral and paranoid tone of the original television series, offering layered dialogue and philosophical depth. It doesn’t just retell The Prisoner—it expands its themes into new territory, while remaining faithful to the source material’s central question: Who is Number One?

The artwork by Dean Motter is sleek and atmospheric, blending retro-futurist design with noir-style composition. The panel layouts cleverly echo the series' abstract symbolism, with stark contrast and unusual angles that visually mirror the psychological tension in the story. The visual storytelling captures the sense of being both watched and uncertain—a perfect match for the narrative’s tone.
