Garth was a comic strip in the British newspaper Daily Mirror that ran from 24 July 1943 – 22 March 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 in different chronological eras. Garth was widely syndicated throughout English-speaking countries during its long run. The 1960s Australian fast bowler Garth McKenzie was nicknamed after the comic strip hero. Due to public demand, reprints of classic stories began in 2011.
