Description

This is the title page to Secret Agent X-9 story "The Key To Power" that ran as a back-up story in Flash Gordon from 1967. This was Al Williamson and Archie Goodwin's audition for the X-9 strips and later called Secret Agent Corrigan. Best page from the 5 page sequence in the book showcasing Phil Dexter aka X-9. Great example by Al from his prime period, some of the X-9 portraits have a strong Raymond influence.
