Wilda

Want a song to hum while you are reading Mel Graff's Secret Agent X-9 dailies from the 50's?
Here's Graff's own little tune: Wilda.

Now, who's Wilda? She was Phil "X-9" Corrigan's gal in the daily strip. They later married and had a girl named Philda...

While I'm at it: here's a pin-up of Wilda done by Graff.

Maybe a little OT here, but. Where did Wilda and the kid go? Did they get killed off or just ignored?

In the early strip, by Hammett and Raymond, there was talk about a former wife and kid who got killed. Seems a little too much for the poor Sod to have to suffer the deaths of yet another wife and kid.

Apparently musical bragging about one's erotic conquests didn't start with hiphop.
