When Secret Agent X-9 premiered in January 1934, King Features could
proudly boast that its new adventure strip was written by the world's
most famous mystery writer - Dashiell Hammett, the man who virtually
invented the hard-boiled detective in such novels as The Maltese Falcon,
The Thin Man, and Red Harvest. The artist chosen was less well-known -
at this point, Alex Raymond was merely an uncredited assistant on Tim
Tyler's Luck and the humor strip Blondie - but 1934 was the turning
point in Raymond's career. From that cold January forward, Alex Raymond
would become as famous as Hammett, thanks to his Sunday comics
double-header, Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim. The Secret Agent X-9 strip
was a dailies-only serial. This volume collects the complete
Hammett/Raymond strips, plus the subsequent stories by Raymond and
Leslie Charteris, famous himself for "The Saint" novels, as well as the
Charteris stories drawn by Charles Flanders. Included are strips from
January 22, 1934 through October 31, 1936.
