Secret Agent X-9 in my copy would have benefited by having the pages
being printed in order. Suddenly a new character shows up and grabs a
gun on one page, and I thought that it was quite a jump, which was
explained a bunch of pages later when the missing pages showed up and
introduced the character a little more smoothly (he was hiding behind
a tree). Still a great collection.
