The magazine X9 was launched in 1969, with Janne Lundström as editor. The first issue featured Secret Agent X-9, Jungle-Jim and The Phantom. The Phantom stories were mainly taken from the American Phantom comics by Gold Key & King, with some Italian exceptions. Since the Phantom was a back-up comic in this magazine, the stories were often edited to become shorter than they were originally. A replica of Nr.1/1969 was included in Nr.10/1994 of the magazine, which by then had changed name to Agent X9.Including the Phantom in X9 was a bit of a compromise; Semic editors were considering publishing the Phantom more often (like at the end of the 1950s), but it was decided to run Phantom stories in X9 instead to give that magazine a good start. Some of the X9 covers featured the Phantom (i.e. Nr.6 and 12/1970, reprinted from old Fantomen covers) and that increased the sales a bit. However, the sales of the current issue of Fantomen usually decreased by the same numbers, so that didn't happen often and the Phantom soon left X9.
