Secret Agent Corrigan (X-9), Daily Strip, October 17, 1969
As noted in a previous post, the amazing Al Williamson spent 13 years illustrating Secret Agent Corrigan as a daily strip. (With writing by Archie Goodwin — also great.)
Here’s a nice example from the earlier period of Al’s strips with a gorgeous final panel.
(Of course as I also previously noted, Williamson could have illustrated a guide to Windows XP, and I would have devoured it anyway.)
Al’s Corrigan strips are relative bargains in the original art market today: Nice examples can often be found in the $400-$500 range.
The complete five-volume collection of Williamson’s Corrigan (Also referred to as X-9) is one of my favorite series form the Library of American of Comics (LOAC), and one of my favorite projects at IDW Publishing.
Yes, that makes me biased. So?
