Al Williamson's run on Secret Agent Corrigan from 1967 to 1979 stands as one of the artistic highlights in the history of the American comic strip. Williamson's delicate line-work, coupled with a style both realistic and atmospheric, enhanced the no-nonsense story of Corrigan. Secret Agent X-9 was created in 1934 by hard-boiled mystery writer Dashiell Hammett and boasted the art of Alex Raymond. When Hammett and Raymond left the strip, Mel Graff took over for over 20 years. Graff gave X-9 the name Phil Corrigan and fleshed out his private life. Following a stint by Bob Lubbers, Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson combined to give the strip it's most memorable run from 1967-1979.
