Greetings. Offered for sale is the original artwork for the daily comic strip SECRET AGENT CORRIGAN (formerly Secret Agent X-9) by Gray Morrow (artist) and Archie Goodwin (writer). This strip is from a short run in April, 1977 when Gray Morrow "ghosted" the strip art for Al Williamson.

-Description: This is the original artwork for the 4-20-1977 daily comic strip Secret Agent Corrigan by Dwight Graydon "Gray" Morrow (1934-2001). This daily, from the "Travel Between Dimensions" story line, features a tense confrontation between the lovely Dr. Kopak and Vordath, ruler of a planet in an alien dimension. Corrigan has been marooned on the surface of the planet, where he faces monsters, man-brutes, and harsh environmental perils. Al Williamson was the regular artist on the Secret Agent Corrigan comic strip, but Gray Morrow "ghosted" the strip from 4/4/1977 through 4/23/1977, when, I believe, Mr. Williamson took ill. This daily is reprinted on page 266 of X-9 Secret Agent Corrigan Volume Four 1974-77 The Complete Works by Al Williamson and Archie Goodwin (IDW 2012).
