Ever since it was originally shown in the late 1960s, the series The Prisoner has puzzled and intrigued millions of viewers. Only 17 episodes were originally made, and each is riddled with mystery and poses unanswerable questions. The series captured the imagination as few programs have done before or since, and became a true television phenomenon. Here its unique appeal and history are examined in a fully updated edition with a new chapter boasting insider information. Featuring interviews with Patrick McGoohan, Kenneth Griffith, Alexis Kanner, and Anton Rogers, this essential resource reveals all-new information about the series, the characters portrayed, the cast themselves, and what it was really like during production.

The enormously puzzling TV series The Prisoner has developed a rapt cult following, and has often been described as “surreal” or “Kafkaesque.” In I Am (Not) a Number, Cox takes an opposing view. While the series has surreal elements, he believes it provides the answers to all the questions which have confounded viewers: who is Number 6? Who runs The Village? Who—or what—is Number 1? According to Cox, the key is to view the series in the order in which the episodes were made, not in the order of the UK or US television screenings. In this book he does exactly that, and provides an entirely original and controversial “explanation” for what is perhaps the best, and certainly the most perplexing, TV series of all time.

"Forty years ago as a graduate student I wrote a book about Spaghetti Westerns, called 10,000 Ways to Die. It's an embarrassing tome: full of half-assed semiotics and other attenuated academic nonsense. Thirty years later I wrote an entirely new book with the same title, about the same subject, from a different perspective—that of a working film director. What interested me was what the filmmakers intended, how they did that shot, how the director felt when his film was recut by the distributor, and he was creatively and financially screwed. Now I have prepared a new edition of the 10,000 Ways to Die. It reflects my changing thoughts about the Italian Western, which I still greatly admire. It includes corrections, additions, and new sections on films I changed my mind about, or hadn't seen—including Lina Wertmuller's Belle Star—the only Italian Western directed by a woman." —Alex Cox

10,000 Ways to Die: A Director's Take on the Italian Western

Centuries have passed and time has taken its toll on Mars. Conflict burns across the landscape. A war of supremacy and genocide at the hands of a brutal despot has brought the planet to the edge of collapse. A search party has finally located an aged John Carter and Dejah Thoris, living in quiet seclusion on a desert moon, in perpetual mourning for their lost son. How could they be Mars' last hope? Introducing a John Carter story like you've never seen before, from co-writers Brian Wood (Star Wars, DMZ, Northlanders) and Alex Cox (Adventure Time), joined by artist Hayden Sherman (Civil War II: Kingpin). Reviews: “Hayden Sherman does a great job... It is primitive and powerful. Each panel looks dangerous, like you could be sliced to ribbons by the cliff faces.” – Comic Crusaders “It never occurred to me that John Carter and Batman would have much in common, but I hadn’t read John Carter: The End yet.” - Slack Jaw Punks “A perfect continuation for the stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs and the characters of Barsoom. This should please, delight and thrill old and new fans alike.” – Outright Geekery

Jenna also complains about having hot feet and that she might have the worst disease in the world: Multiple Sploderorsis. A disease that dooms you to a life of crippling pain... and then you might explode! Not very many people have it, because they all explode.
