Despite the date, the above book went on sale towards the end of 1974, and I remember looking through it in W. & R. HOLMES back then, but not buying it. I wasn't familiar with GARTH, and had, I think, first learned of him in The PENGUIN BOOK Of COMICS (the 1st edition), borrowed from my local library in 1972 or '73. Holmes was one of the best shops in my town, and I still miss it today, nearly 40 years after it closed.
Anyway, many years later (and many years ago), the Garth book came my way again and I snapped it up, as it was a happy reminder of my young teenage years, even though I'd never actually owned the volume. Unfortunately, I can't open it wide enough to scan any of the strips without risking damage to the spine, so you'll just have to content yourselves with a look at the cover. FRANK BELLAMY did the honours, and what a good job he did, eh?
