SECRET AGENT X-9 is one of the classics of adventure comics. Created by Dashiell Hammett and Alex Raymond in 1934, the series continued under various hands for decades and was retitled SECRET AGENT CORRIGAN in the late 1960s during the much lauded tenure of writer Archie Goodwin and artist Al Williamson, whose delicate line-work, coupled with a style both realistic and atmospheric, enhanced the no-nonsense story of the sophisticated action hero.
