'''''X9''''' (later ''Agent X9'') is a [[The Phantom publications in Sweden|Swedish]] comic book, first published in 1969, and is - as of 2025 - still in production.
== Overview ==
During the first years, until [[X9 3/1971|#3/1971]], each ''X9'' issue featured a Phantom story from either [[King Comics (publisher)|King Comics]], [[Gold Key]], or [[Fratelli Spada]]. 

In 1971, "The Phantom" was dropped from the ''X9'' lineup when the title was renamed ''Agent X9''. In 1994, as the magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary, a replica of the first issue, including a Phantom story, was included in [[Agent X9 10/1994|#10/1994]].

In 2024, the Phantom returned in the short italian team-up story "[[Prisoners of a Painting]]".

In total, the Phantom has been featured in 26 issues.

Two issues had The Phantom on the cover: ''X9'' [[X9 6/1970|#6/1970]] and [[X9 12/1970|#12/1970]], and in both cases the covers were reprinted ''[[Fantomen]]'' covers.

== Promotion ==
''X9'' was promoted with in-house ads in several [[Semic Press]] titles, and "[[The Phantom]]" was prominently featured in the ads.
