#x-9

Thrilling Detective / October 1943 (Vol. 49 #1)

Cover: Jerome George Rozen

Published by O Globo, Brazil 1943

The character X-9 was created by Dashiell Hammett for one of the first adventure newspaper comic strips.

He was just X-9 until the forties when they revealed his name was really Phil Corrigan.

As a bit of trivia, in the Columbo episode Identity Crisis, David White (the actor who played Larry Tate in Bewitched) plays a government agent who shows Columbo his ID, which says Phil Corrigan: Agent X-9.

Hello all! So these past few days I’ve been sketching out a few pieces of Samurai Jack fan art, and I started with my favorite character from the original seasons, X-9. Originally, it was supposed to be a simple black and white pen drawing, but I decided to paint the eyes red and well things escalated from there. I did use a reference image for this, but murmurs of Tumblr flagging posts with external links have me nervous, so just type “samurai jack x-9″ into google image search and you’ll find it. 

Anyways, I just seriously love this character and watching Season 5 has rekindled my passion, to the point where I might be vaguely considering doing fan comic based on him. Maybe. No promises. Go watch the episode “Tale of X-9″ from Season 4 of Samurai Jack and you’ll understand why I’m so obsessed with this lovable killer robot. <3

Hope you enjoy! :3
