And thanks for directing me to the Bissette tribute. I've added it to the links. I haven’t seen Judex in years, Jason. Thanks for reminding me of its existence.

Steve Bissette also mentioned The Scarecrow, which is a show that somehow never got onto my radar. I bought a copy of the set right away (you can find them on eBay for a premium), and really loved it. As McGoohan did with the Drake/Prisoner characters, he was able to show a sharp mind working on two levels at the same time; the deception of a public persona and the calculating, plotting alter ego within that we know will emerge to exact justice. Wonderfully layered heroes. One can see why McGoohan chose a part like The Scarecrow. I have to say I also really loved the costumes. The Scarecrow's face-fitting mask gave an eerie tone. And the bird mask of his younger sidekick had the mystery/magic tone of Franju's Judex. I'm glad to have found a whole new McGoohan project to check out through our on-line network here.
