Always nameless agency
Go read in the magazines
Celebrities they want mystère 
Art has mood by Frisano
X9's by bro Sano
Talkin' about how art life can be

I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life on Paris streets
With Doc Styx they would survive
But they could send a page or two
Stumble in someone else's clues
I think we'd rumble and they'd fall
They would fall (fall)

Lifestyle of the rich agent nameless
They're Alex G Raymond
Somedays by Hammett
If money is such a problem
Well he got missions
Think we should stop them

Well did you know when you were agent you could kill your wife
And there's no such thing as 25 to life
As long as you've got the cash, to pay for the Jean
And did you know if you were caught and you were secret man
Publishers wouldn't even want to take to France
You could always just run for cover of D.C.

Wow, how cool is this? Not only a European published cover, but one dating back to America's Golden Age of comics and illustrated by the man best known stateside as the guy who did those covers for Editions Lug. Really cool!

Nice movie serial feel and brush work! I like the design including a small X-9 tied and hanging from an overhanging boulder with vultures circling.
