Agent secret X-9

A compact French pocket series from Les Editions de Poche, Agent Secret X-9 launched in 1966 and ran for ten issues, collecting the classic newspaper strip adventures of the titular spy. The series is most associated with the legendary writer Dashiell Hammett and artist Alex Raymond, whose early work defined the suave, globe-trotting espionage genre. For French readers, this affordable, digest-sized reprint line was a key introduction to one of the medium's foundational secret agent characters, preserving a vital piece of adventure-strip history.
