Description

X-9 was a nameless agent who worked for a nameless agency. X-9 used the name "Dexter" in the first story ("It's not my name, but it'll do.") and kept using it or being called by it in later stories, but acquired the name "Phil Corrigan" in the 1940s; decades later, the strip was renamed Secret Agent Corrigan. The nameless agency was also specifically identified as the FBI, but this would be downplayed in the '70's as the Bureau weathered bad publicity and was once more nameless._____________________________________________________________________ The artist Bob Lubbers, who in the strip used the pseudonym "Bob Lewis" drew the strip from 1960 through 1966.

A very nice Agent X9 strip from Bob Lubbers. He did a good job with the character directly before Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson. I believe there is an X9 magazine in Scandinavia that has reprinted the Bob Lubbers stories, and also new stories drawn by the Australian artist John Dixon.

TKS for the information I did n't see a John Dixon X9. Regarding Lewis in the beginning he was forced to imitate the Mel Graff style, but in this strip he did the much better Lubbers Style
