"Lord" Garth of Izar in the comics
4 October 2007
Garth of Izar was revealed as the villain who stabbed Captain Kirk in the fifty-fifth issue of DC Comics's original STAR TREK series. Yet in that issue, he is depicted as an old man with a wrinkled face and a bald head wearing a green leotard and does not resemble Steve Inhat at all - this was due to issues surrounding the use of Mr. Inhat's image in the comic; he had died fourteen years earlier, in 1971. Garth had passed himself off as Ensign Bloemker and then as Sean Finnegan, Kirk's old nemesis from his Academy days, in order to kill him, but he ended up failing miserably, due to Mr. Spock's interference. This last of the regular stories from that series was one of the best as well, yet it is sad that the artist could not use Steve Inhat's image when he drew the evil Garth of Izar for the comic.
