About
Mister 8 is a blog about secret agents, spies, international crime-fighters and other characters and tropes of spy fiction, and an occasional comic featuring the titular Mister 8 and his work for DOS. This blog is published as often as the author can muster the energy to do so, and content ranges widely from talk of TV shows and movies, to scans of out-of-print comics, to tabs and chords from the great spy themes.
We welcome any feedback, either via the comments section of each post, or through our contact page!

Great picture!!
I still cannot shake the idea that this picture looks like McHale’s Navy actor Joe Flynn.
However, I also can’t shake the fact that Deighton looks like him too….
