New Comic Strip,
A^ent X-9, Starts Today
Phil Corrigan, officially known
as Secret Agent X-9 of the FBI,
comes to the comic pages of The
Nome Nugget today.
Phil, young, handsome, but
thoroughly rugged and capable,
will have need of all his assets
if he is to survive a bad blunder
on his part. He has trailed an
American car thief named Marty
Carbine to the southern coast of
France, where he hopes to trap
Carbine delivering a consignment
of stolen autos to a man named
LaRogue. But in trailing LaRogue,
Phil becomes careless, and under
estimates the fat, oily car “fence”.
LaRogue knocks Phill out from
behind, and then orders his chauf
fer and his girl friend Sira to dis
pose of the FBI agent.
When Phil awakens in the rear
seat of a luxurious limousine, he
finds himself in a precarious po
sition. You can follow the action
by turning to page 3.
