X-9 by Mel Graff


click for larger version

I discovered today that I like the look of Mel Graff's 40's-50's cartooning, so I tracked down some strips at Heritage Auctions. I turned them into line art and put them into one page as a fun comic strip continuity project! Thrill to the adventures of Corrigan (aka X-9), Corrigan's double, Joe Otterfoot, and the handling of illegal venison. Strips are from 1944, 1949 and 1955.

Also make note of Graff's special lettering for the caption boxes--good stuff!
