Garth was a comic strip in the British newspaper Daily Mirror from July 24, 1943, to March 22, 1997...

...I used to have a horizontal paneled booklet serializing a comic very similar to this. It involved a guy being transported to an alien world to try and rescue his son and his daughter-in-law, who had been kidnapped by these horrible spider-like aliens. At the end, it was all for nothing; his daughter in law's brain had been replaced with one of the aliens, so his son killed her and then himself.

...I wonder if this is the comic. It ring any bells to any anons?

Nice art
Old adventure strips are peak comics to me so I love this kind of thing. It would be cool if this was reprinted but I think we're kind of past the newspaper comic reprint heyday of the early 10s

Thanks for posting this. I had never heard of this comic strip before. I get Flash Gordon vibes from the hidden Greeks adventure.

How long ago did you have that booklet? That story sounds like something from the 1950s EC comics science-fiction/horror comics.

Attached: h076.png (1078x1876, 1.98M)

Sheesh, I don't know? It was a Garfield-style "collected newspaper strip-comic book" from around the 80s? All I clearly remember was that there was plenty of female nudity in it, sometimes played for the grotesque, as when the brain-transplanted woman was shot and her boobs were clearly left sitting atop the gory mush-mound that was once her upper torso.

80s comics with that sort of story and nudity sounds like Pacific Comics' Alien Worlds. But, that was a regular comics format, not horizontal.

Heavy Metal was a magazine that had plenty of science-fiction/fantasy and nudity, but was also not horizontal format.

Epic magazine had similar stories, but not quite as much nudity, if I remember correctly.

Attached: h111.png (1066x1891, 1.57M)

I had the book in the late 80s/early 90s, but I don't know when the strip was from. It was just kind of how things were printed for book format down here: I had at least one Flash Gordon book in that format (the one where he meets Thor). So... yeah, I have pretty much nothing useful to offer for to track it down.

Where is "down here"? That might give me a clue.

Australia, sorry. I was a kid between 1987 and 1995 when I stumbled across it, but it could have come from around the 70s for all I knew back then.

Warren also published black-and-white science-fiction/fantasy titles Eerie, Creepy, and Vampirella with nudity.

You may have had a magazine that imported and re-formatted stories like some British publications did with American comics.

Sorry that I am not much help with this interesting mystery of yours.

disappointing

Does Garth ever get to where he intended to travel? He was headed to London, but crash landed in a hidden Greek civilization, left that and wound up in the city of the Amazons, became the quarry in a human hunt, and is now what looks like the Middle East.

Oh, you got no fucking clue...

Karen really is bad-ass, isn't she

I think Karen would have claimed Garth as her slave and made him peel grapes and feed them to her. LOL.

Poor Garth never made it to the London Olympics, did he?

It is just as well. All those gold medals around his neck would have given him an aching neck.

Part of me feels like she's supposed to be the obvious choice, if only because she actually does shit and doesn't wuss out all the damn time like Dawn does.

Context for anyone who missed prior Garth threads: Garth underwent past life regression and it turns out he was in love triangles with past versions of Karen and Dawn throughout history. Every time, no matter what period of history, not only did they all look the same but they also fit the same archetype: Garth was the square-jawed do-gooder, Dawn was a wimpy waif that just wanted everyone to get along and Karen was a cartoonishly evil vamp that would betray Garth but later feel bad about it, then past Garth dies ironically. This is never really brought up again, which makes sense in the context of a serialised adventure comic strip, but still feels jarring to me.

What's especially bullshit is that Dawn was part of a caveman tribe that was isolated from the rest of the world and never changed after thousands of years (the writers for this strip LOVED pulling that kind of shit, as Garth was from a Viking tribe in similar circumstances) and we now know that cavewomen weren't the type to sit around doe-eyed while men did the important things... but that's just my bias from a modern perspective. It really is frustrating to see her mope and whine and cry throughout entire story arcs, but I guess that was considered better in the 40s and 50s? Really doesn't help her case when the writers tell us how young she is (Garth literally sent her to finishing school in one story) which just comes across as skeevy.

Now that Garth is on the planet, Mongo... er, Jason, he is now a mash-up of Flash Gordon and Superman.

This strip is really a wacky ride.

It is a little disorienting how the strip lurches from one genre to another without so much as a by your leave, but it's much more fun if you just roll with it.

I think Garth should have read the instruction manual for that helmet.

"Thanks, Sam. I haven't worn a shirt for a thousand years."

There goes the flying cloak. But, does he still have the helmet?

Looks like the helmet got broken.

Now he has the Time Top, er, Time Globe.

"Excuse me interrupting you Prof, but a huge egg or something just arrived on that islet."

The more I read of this arc, the more I want to see it animated.

Oh, yeah, Doc.... You can trust the man in the SS uniform wearing a monocle.
