The Prisoner #2

DC's adaptation of the cult television series continues with "Book B: By Hook or by Crook," the second chapter in Dean Motter, Mark Askwith, and Dave Hornung's 1988 miniseries. The cover — painted by Motter himself — pulls you in immediately: a bearded, wild-haired older man grins with unsettling confidence as he holds up a photograph of a younger man's face, the photo crosshatched with red X-stitching and set alight at one corner, suggesting something deeply sinister about identity and control. It's a striking image that perfectly captures the paranoid, psychological tension at the heart of The Prisoner.
