Garth estate

The Garth estate is a fictional location featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is part of the mainstream Marvel Universe and first appeared in Tales of the Zombie #1 in July, 1973.

Description
The Garth estate is a plantation house/mansion located in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is located either in or near the city of New Orleans. If in fact it does exist in New Orleans, it is likely situated somewhere in the affluent Garden District. The estate was owned by Simon Garth, who was the "Coffee King" of Louisiana, having amassed a fortune as senior partner at Garwood Industies, which enabled him to purchase or build the estate.

History
One day, while leaving for the office, an irate Simon Garth berated his gardener Gyps for his poor workmanship, even going so far as to advise him to sharpen his garden shears.

After Garth left, Gyps went into the back yard where he spied Simon's daughter, Donna Garth, diving naked off of a diving board. Gyps approached Donna, accusing her of intentionally showing off knowing that Gyps was watching - a charge that Donna fervently denied. When Simon returned home and learned of this, he punched Gyps hard in the face and fired him.
