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.
A Tale of Vendetta - Garth Comics
In one of the time-trip stories (Old Brit Eng for reincarnation) Garth is in ancient Olympus in 400BC. He is a farmer and is on his way to the market when his wagon comes in the way of Saudio, a famous wrestler. An offended Saudio attempts to throw Garth out of his way. One can imagine the outcome. The coach of Saudio gives Garth an offer to join his team as an athlete. Philomena, Saudio's companion, disguises herself as a farm boy tries to seduce Garth. It turns out the new wrestler isn't into farm boys wearing genuine straw hat. Rejected and humiliated, Philomena joins forces with Saudio. To do what? In case you didn't notice, it's A Tale of Vendetta. Meanwhile, Garth meets Nerissa, the doe-eyed, crystal gazer. In the end they both die, since it's a reincarnation story. Uh-oh! That was a spoiler. But there's still so much to left. What if I told you, it was neither Saudio nor Philomena who kills the lovers?
