Book SynopsisBased on the TV show created by Patrick McGoohan, this all-new adventure written by Peter Milligan sees Breen, codenamed No. 6, trapped in a seemingly bizarre parallel world, unlike anything he has ever experienced before. There he must race to rescue his fellow spy before he loses his very grip on reality. But to save the day, Breen must also confront the arch controller of The Village, a person known only as Number One... The Prisoner: The Uncertainty Machine sees a return to the world of The Village - the seminal 1967 TV spy show, written, created and starring the star of the show PATRICK MCGOOHAN. The show followed the exploits of McGoohan's ex spy character, who after resigning is abducted by The Village and interrogated to discover the real reason behind his resignation. Each week The Village would try to trick the information out of him. Set in Portmerion, The mock Italian costal village location became as much a star of the show as McGoohan and helped to cement the show's reputation as one of the classic cult TV shows of all times. The Uncertainty Machine sees a modern day spy called Breen tasked with breaking into The Village in order to extricate a fellow spy who has been 'lifted' by The Village. The information she possesses is too valuable to fall into the hands of whoever it is that controls The Village. In order to rescue her, Breen must engineer his own defection and go rogue thereby becoming a person of interest to powers at work behind The Village. However nothing can prepare Breen for the bizarreness that awaits him inside the Village.Trade Review"As wicked, wild, and weird as the original The Prisoner TV show." - The AV Club "Peter Milligan and Colin Lorimer's The Prisoner is a worthy successor to the ground-breaking and mindbending television show. 4 out of 5!" - Comic Book "Feels like something from David Lynch's Twin Peaks." - Multiversity Comics "Dynamically bizzare script...fast-paced action." - Newsarama The lead is interesting, the plot and conflict are compelling, and the art is rock solid.

Book Synopsis'Completely original. Unique, in fact' Philip PullmanI Get Loud, the follow-up to the exquisite I Go Quiet, sees the introverted heroine go out into the world as she gains confidence in her voice and makes a friend for the first time. It is a tale of the emboldening nature of the imagination, the redemptive power of friendship and why we should all embrace our own beautiful, singular weirdness.Trade ReviewThe language is poetic while the illustrations are darkly gorgeous . . . like its predecessor, [the book] offers balm to the introverted and to anyone unsure of their place in the world * * Financial Times * *Gorgeous . . . a simple allegorical story about the heroine of its much-loved predecessor, I Go Quiet, gaining her voice as she bears witness to the migration of thousands of refugees from lands of oppression and despair.

Book SynopsisA new book in Bryan Talbot's award-winning science fiction graphic novels series, starring the legendary character Luther ArkwrightThe Adventures of Luther Arkwright, first serialised in 1978, is considered by many to be the first British graphic novel. Praised by many writers and artists, including Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Jean Giroud (Moebius) and Michael Moorcock, the ground-breaking, experimental adult SF story was a seminal work, inspiring and influencing many comic creators. Its sequel, Heart Of Empire, was published in 2001. Both books have been continually in print since they were first published.Set fifty years later, The Legend of Luther Arkwright is another stand-alone story. While still maintaining total continuity with the Arkwright mythos, it is a different kind of adult adventure. Pursued across multiple historically divergent parallel worlds, both utopian and dystopian, and facing a far superior adversary, Arkwright battles to save humanity from mass destruction; his only edge is his experience and force of will.The Legend of Luther Arkwright, beautifully drawn by master storyteller and Eisner Award-winning comics creator Bryan Talbot, is a milestone in British comics history.Trade ReviewBryan Talbot is the most important comic creator in Great Britain. -- Teddy Jamieson * Herald Scotland *Superbly designed, beautifully conceived, admirably written - everything about them is terrific. * Philip Pullman, on the GRANDVILLE series *I've never come across a fictional world as fully-realised as Bryan Talbot's Grandville...
