Secret Agent X-9

A 2015 one-shot from IDW, Secret Agent X-9 revives the classic newspaper strip hero for a modern, single-issue espionage thriller. Written by Alex de Campi with art by Jerry Ordway, the story pits the stoic agent against a deadly conspiracy, capturing the hard-boiled tone of the character's 1930s origins while delivering a tight, self-contained adventure. This issue serves as a crisp, standalone reintroduction for a foundational figure in comic strip history.
