About this Collection

This volume collects the earliest adventures of Phil Corrigan, the square-jawed secret agent originally created by writer Dashiell Hammett and artist Alex Raymond. Strips from the late 1930s and early 1940s are presented in this IDW archival edition, showcasing the transition from Raymond's illustrative style to the work of subsequent artists on the series. The book is part of IDW's Library of American Comics series, dedicated to preserving classic newspaper strips.

In X-9: Secret Agent Corrigan #1, a 2010 IDW release with a cover price of 49.99 USD, undercover agent Corrigan infiltrates the Republic of Solera by assuming the identity of a fugitive named Burke. With Al Williamson handling writing, art, inking, and lettering, the story unfolds as Corrigan uncovers a hidden truth: Solera is not a sanctuary, but a gold-mining slave camp run by the ruthless Adrienne Widdoe, who exploits desperate men and uses their stolen funds to sustain her operation. Cover by Al Williamson.
