Garwood Industries

Garwood Industries is a fictional business 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.

History
More than twenty years ago, entrepreneurs Simon Garth and Brian Stockwood went into business together and founded Garwood Industries, which was a coffee distribution plant. Although both partners were of equal standing within the company, it was Simon Garth who was the dominant party. His aggressive tactics and business practices earned him the nickname the "Coffee King" of Louisiana.

Two decades later, and Simon Garth was still ruling over Garwood with an iron fist. Blackwood appeared to be more subservient to him, and when he questioned Simon's initiative to increase production, Garth flew into a rage and began strangling him.
