    Garth has been a comic strip in the Daily Mirror from 1943 to 1997. It was first drawn by Steve Dowling, followed by John Allard, Frank Bellamy and finally Martin Asbury. Despite its long history, very few books were published. The first book was published in 1946 titled "Man of Mystery" which I do not have in my collection. Fleetway published two annuals for 1975 and 1976, one standard paperback 'annual-size' and one as a landscape paperback. There were also two graphic novels published by Titan Books and one by Daily Mirror Books in 1958 (a double-sided book one side of which was Garth in "The Last Goddess")

    Garth was a comic strip in the Daily Mirror British newspaper from July 24, 1943, to March 22, 1997. The strip belonged to the action-adventure genre and recounted the exploits of the title character, an immensely strong hero who battled various villains
    throughout the world and many different chronological eras. Garth was widely syndicated throughout English-speaking countries during its long run.

    Garth's time-travelling adventures lasted for over 50 years and covered 165 stories (plus two additional stories published in the Daily Mirror Book for Boys, 1970-71). In the backstory, Garth washed ashore in Shetland and was adopted by an elderly couple. Garth developed almost superhuman strength and eventually became a naval captain and all-round military genius. Garth travelled through many eras and confronted villains such as Madame Voss and Apollo. His true love was the ancient goddess-like figure, Astra. Garth's sidekick and mentor was Professor Lumiere, who psychoanalyzed the hero and recovered memories of his previous experiences.

    Steve Dowling was the originator of the Garth character, and at the time, took on 15-year-old John Allard, who stayed with the strip for its entire lifetime. After 59 adventures Dowling retired and handed Garth over to Allard, which he carried on until Eagle comics' Dan Dare artist, Frank Bellamy, took over the art with Allard writing the scripts on Monday July 12th 1971 during the story Sundance. Garth's longevity had been established by Don Freeman, who created almost every basic Garth plot on which the saga was built. Peter O'Donnell, Jim Edgar and Angus Allan also wrote extensively for the strip during its decades-long existence. Philip Harbottle is a leading Garth expert and collector of the strips, and he wrote several of the stories during the 1990s. Martin Asbury became Garth's artist after Frank Bellamy's death, drawing the strip until its final episode in 1997.

    In 1993, Bill Storrie produced perhaps a dozen or so 60-page photocopied magazines titled The Gopherville Argus Special Edition No. 1 featuring Garth as a tribute to the writers and artists who had been involved with the strip. Most if not all Garth strips are now owned by King Features Syndicate.

    Wednesday 13 August 2008, "Garth" briefly reappeared on the website of the Daily Mirror, drawn by the artist Huw J. Davies.
