Secret Agent X-9

Proving, once again, that the Golden Age Comic Book Stories blog does more than its name implies, here is a posting of publicity shots from the World War II era serial, Secret Agent X-9, starring Lloyd Bridges and Keye Luke (a/k/a Charlie Chan's No. 1 son, Master Po from King Fu, among others).  I've seen this serial, and once you get by the usual WWII propaganda and stereotypes, it is pretty entertaining.
