In co-operation with a German McGoohanista, the little-told story of
John Drake's popularity in West Germany is now accessible - to some
degree - in this essay:
Shades Of Black And White

Beginning with propositions about the influences of Film Noir upon the
'Danger Man' series of 1960, the essay explores those film noir ideas
and how they themselves originated in the German cinematic tradition
of Expressionist Cinema. The essay then tells a brief tale of how John
Drake migrated into German Pulp Fiction in the 500-plus comic-book
series: Geheimauftrag für John Drake.


There is a German language translation of this essay into it's true
lingual home at the same site:
Schattierungen von Schwarz und Weiss
