Original Art: Garth on Heritage - Jenghiz Khan (H275) & Angels of Hell's Gap (J24)


H275 episode of  "Garth: Bride of Jenghiz Khan" Drawn by Frank Bellamy

Heritage have 2 Garths for auction and again one is from the story "Bride of Jenghiz Khan" I never understand why they 'lock' the viewing of some nudity and not others, so you might need to log in to see it on their site, but here it's easily available!

Heritage describe this piece:
Frank Bellamy Garth Daily Comic Strip H275 Original Art (Daily Mirror, c. mid-1970s). This daily strip displays the fantastic chiaroscuro artwork of Frank Bellamy, from the end of his career. Produced in ink over graphite on illustration board with an image area of 20.5" x 5.25". Slight edge toning; otherwise, in Excellent condition. From the Ethan Roberts Estate Collection

J24 episode of  "Garth: The Angels of Hell's Gap" Drawn by Frank Bellamy
 The second is episode J24 from "The Angels of Hell's Gap" - Bellamy loved his Westerns so was in his element. 


The whole story ran originally in the national UK newspaper the Daily Mirror from 15 January 1975 - 2 May 1975 (J12-J101). It was reprinted in Garth: The Angels of Hell's Gap by the now-defunct All Devon Comic Collectors Club (No.13 [No date]), and in the Daily Mirror from  Monday 21 February 2011 to Tuesday 12 April 2011 -  coloured by Martin Baines.
