Charles Flanders drew the strip until April 9 1938. The artwork was then turned over to Nicholas Afonsky on April 11 1938, but already on November 7 the same year Austin Briggs replaced Afonsky. Briggs left the strip (to do the daily strip of "Flash Gordon") on May 10 (or 11 or 12) and was replaced by Mel Graff. In 1943 Graff persuaded King Features to drop Max Trell and let Graff handle the script as well. He proceeded to give X-9 the name Phil Corrigan and made Phil marry his girlfriend (in June 1950) and a few years later Phil and his wife got a child. In the fifties Graff developed a drinking habit that put him out of commission for weeks and the strip were done by ghosts artists (most noteworthy Paul Norris). In March 1960 Graff was replaced by Bob Lubbers (under the pseudonym Bob Lewis), who did the strip until 1967 (se below). The strip was then turned over to life long Alex Raymond fan Al Williamson, who used Archie Goodwin as a writer. At the same time the strip changed name to Secret Agent Corrigan. In February 1980 George Evans took over the strip.
