| Description | Three-panel comic strip shows Special Agent X-9 in the cockpit of a plane, aiming a machine gun at another plane carrying "The Mask." The other plane undertakes desperate manuevers to avoid being hit. In 1934, King Features Syndicate launched Secret Agent X-9 to compete with the new popular strip Dick Tracy and hired Dashiell Hammett to write the narrative and Alex Raymond to draw it. Hammett quit after a year and Raymond a few months later (to concentrate on two other popular strips, Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim). This sequence is one of the few produced by the Hammett-Raymond collaboration. The strip continued under different artists and writers until 1996. |
