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"). In Australia, Budget Books published one longer landscape book No 1 implying a series, but as with a lot of the Budget Books series, a No 2 did not appear. Garth has appeared as stories in other publications but not books dedicated to Garth and so are not featured in this gallery.
