Excellent - nice crisp inks, good use of blocking - fast-paced story. Bit worried about how much Catman talks to himself when he's alone, early sign of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

John Dixon had a long and illustrious career as a comic artist and creator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dixon_%28cartoonist%29

Jim Shooter apparently had a soft spot for older creators, for Valiant he had John Dixon and Don Perlin on staff. Neither did much penciling, mostly just worked behind the scenes and inked. and, the story goes, were not treated with much respect by the 'Young Guns'.
Here is a page of what he did for Valiant. His own pencils are on some of the 'Eternal Warrior' pages. Compare these with the 'AirHawk' panels at the top of the page.

"He drew sixteen stories of Agent Corrigan that were published in a Swedish comic book from 1997 to 2003."  be nice to locate those.

Cheers.

It's a shame that there isn't a British version of the Swedish Agent X9 mag - can you imagine a monthly mag that includes, for example, Modesty Blaise, Garth, James Bond, Axa, Buck Ryan, Jet-Ace Logan and the Seekers.

Oh yes, I'd buy that. The Seekers by John M Burns was a great strip.
