I Spy – “Duet For Danger” pt. II

Mister 8, the comic, will be delayed this week as I recover from some sickness that hit me over the weekend. I’m all better today, but now am going to meet a government investigator doing a security check on my old college roommate, who I think is about to move up a Q level or something.

Despite not being a criminal, as far as I know, it’s sort of alarming to pick up the phone to hear someone on the other end introduce themselves as a “special investigator.”

In the meantime, this is part two of a story that we began last week. Gold Key Comics’ I Spy #4, February 1968, story by Paul S. Newman and art by Alden McWilliams.

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!

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.
