EVERYMAN Cover 2017

Independent publishers, Invisible Six, are one of many comic creating teams attending this years’s International Comic Art Festival in Kendal this weekend, with writer artist Brian Gorman here to promote EVERYMAN: A Celebration of Patrick McGoohan & The Prisoner.

2017 sees the 50th anniversary of The Prisoner TV series, with celebratory events across the globe. The show was first screened on ITV in 1967 and became an instant cult classic.

An action adventure series that broke the mould, and continues to fascinate. Starring Patrick McGoohan, the series was ground-breaking, profound, psychedelic, and gained an international following.
