corrigan1X-9: SECRET AGENT CORRIGAN is one of the classics of modern adventure comics. Al Williamson’s delicate line-work, coupled with a style both realistic and atmospheric, enhanced the no-nonsense story of Corrigan, the sophisticated action hero. Williamson and writer Archie Goodwin produced the strip from 1967 to 1980, updating the character created in 1934 by Dashiell Hammett and Alex Raymond.

"The Secret Agent Corrigan collection is one more in an amazing run of titles published by IDW under their Library of American Comics imprint. With older comic strips such as Terry and The Pirates, Little Orphan Annie, and Dick Tracy already in their line up, Secret Agent Corrigan – as one of the last of the great adventure strips – becomes an appropriate bookend to the series."
