Austin Briggs' brief run on X-9 is seldom reprinted. It's great to see this example. I'm struck by how much better Briggs' X-9 art was than his work on Flash Gordon. Before I saw his X-9 I'd always assumed Brigg's Flash art was crude because the artist was just starting out. However X-9, which he drew before Flash, shows an artistic maturity missing from the later strip. I know Briggs held Flash Gordon in contempt. It looks rather like he expressed that contempt by just banging the strip out rather than applying the skill and effort he put into X-9.
