X9 #1/1969
"Operation Leopard" kicks off in 1969 with a tense, globe-trotting mystery as Corrigan uncovers a deadly smuggling operation hidden beneath a seemingly innocent animal transport. Written by Bob Lewis and illustrated with sharp precision by Al Williamson, the story unfolds with a blend of espionage and exotic danger, all framed by Thord Lindblom’s striking cover art.
Agent X9 [Phil Corrigan] investigates the murder of a sailor and uncovers a dangerous smuggling operation run by madam Shara, who uses her exotic animal transports to hide narcotics—leading Corrigan into a web of deception with the ruthless Krager.
In "Skatten i Bengalibukten," a race for buried pirate gold ignites tension in the jungles of the Bengal Bay, as the Phantom's allies clash with Zeeks and his companions. When Zeeks exploits local superstition to scare off the native salvagers, the Phantom steps in to stop the chaos—only to find himself drawn into an alliance with the witchdoctors to uncover the treasure’s true fate.
