Secret Agent X-9 was based on the comic strip Secret Agent X-9 by Dashiell Hammett, Leslie Charteris and others. It was Universal's last comic strip adaptation (from 1936 to 1945, Universal almost made more serial adaptations of comic strips than both of their rivals, Columbia and Republic, combined). The serial reuses footage and Frank Skinner's score from Universal's Gung Ho!.
