X-9 SECRET AGENT CORRIGAN HC (2025)

"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 illustrious career included stints at EC Comics on their legendary science fiction titles, Star Wars, Flash Gordon, and Secret Agent Corrigan (AKA X-9). Archie Goodwin was one of the most acclaimed writers and editors to work in comics. He edited the groundbreaking Blazing Combat series for Warren Publications, as well as Creepy and Eerie. His writing credits included Batman and the Eisner Award-winning Manhunter series."

"Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson's classic adventure comic strip collects over 800 comic strips, from September 1, 1969 through April 8, 1972. Each strip beautifully rendered with delicate precision by master craftsman, Williamson, and elegantly scribed by master wordsmith, Goodwin. Williamson began his legendary career at the fabled EC Comics in the early 1950s. He would go on to a brilliant career spanning six decades, bringing to life through his magic brush: Flash Gordon, Star Wars, Secret Agent Corrigan, and many others. Goodwin's career included editorial stints at DC, Warren and Marvel Comics. At both Warren and Marvel he was editor-in-chief. Goodwin teamed with Williamson, a favorite collaborator, on the Star Wars newspaper strip as well as Corrigan."

"Volume three of Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson's classic strip throttles into high gear as agent Phil Corrigan embarks on some of his greatest and most rousing adventures! Beginning on April 10th, 1972 and reproducing every gorgeously drawn strip until November 11th, 1974, each scanned from Al Williamson's own personal set of syndicate proofs, more than 800 strips in all!"

"Volume Four of Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson's definitive run on Secret Agent X9 continues its break neck pace as agent Phil Corrigan dives head first into ever more thrilling and outrageous adventures! Beginning on November 4th, 1974 and reproducing every gorgeously drawn strip until June 11th, 1977."

"Al Williamson creates what is arguably his best artwork of the 1970s as he and Archie Goodwin wrap up their run of Secret Agent Corrigan. This final volume contains all strips from June 13, 1977-February 2, 1980."

"The best-selling series continues! Famed EC artist George Evans had periodically ghosted for Al Williamson on Secret Agent Corrigan and in 1980 Williamson and writer Archie Goodwin passed the strip to Evans permanently. Evans wrote and drew the strip for sixteen years until he and Phil Corrigan retired together in 1996. Evans had a long and illustrious career, from Fiction House and Fawcett to EC, where he worked along his friends Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson. This volume reprints the first Secret Agent Corrigan strips by Evans - more than 750 rarely-seen dailies from February 1980 to August 1982! It's a must-have for all fans of adventure strips!"
