The Prisoner #3

DC's 1989 adaptation of the cult television series reaches its third chapter, "Confrontation," with a cover by Dean Motter that radiates brooding unease. Dominating the foreground is a bearded, heavyset face glowering from the shadows, while behind a jagged tear in the composition stands a classical bust fitted with a mechanical eye — an unsettling fusion of antiquity and surveillance. The penny-farthing bicycle tucked into the corner is an instantly recognizable emblem of The Village, quietly anchoring the whole haunting image to its source.
