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!

Field Reports

* Unseen I Spy scripts leaked

Debbie Mazar, better known as “Tatia Loring” on the I Spy forum, recently got her hands on some unproduced scripts written by Ernie Frankel, and, while she can’t share the scripts themselves, is posting her copious notes for the rest of us to peruse! Up first: “The Day They Gave the Bride Away”.

About COBRAS

COBRAS stands for Coalition Of Bloggers wRiting About Spies, and was meant to be a one-off blog posting that highlighted some of my other favorite spy blogs. David @ Permission to Kill suggested we formalize it, and created a new blogroll on his page, and so, as the creator of the awful acronym, I thought I should follow suit.

The blogs at right really are the cream of the crop, and I appreciate their efforts to support Mister 8. I encourage you to bookmark them all, or add their feeds to your reader, or whatever it is that you crazy kids do these days.
