At last week's San Diego Comic-Con, AMC distributed free Marvel comic books based on their upcoming miniseries remake of the classic Patrick McGoohan TV show The Prisoner. (The remake stars Ian McKellen as Number 2 and Jim Caviezel as Number 6, referred to simply as "Six" in this reimagining.) The network were also thoughtful enough to publish a PDF of the whole thing on their website (direct link here) so that even Prisoner fans not attending Comic-Con would be able to read it. But for those collectors out there who would rather own a hard copy of the first new Prisoner comic book since DC's mini-series over two decades ago (and don't want to be squeezed by Ebay pirates), I am giving away six copies right here! All you have to do to win a Prisoner comic book is send an email with the subject heading "PRISONER COMIC" including your name and mailing address to the Double O Section by midnight, Pacific Time on Monday, August 3, 2009. Winners will be announced next Tuesday. Good luck–and be seeing you!
