In most of his early appearances it was spelled “Garret.” Later on, some writers would get it wrong and spell it “Garrett.” For instance, this scene from Holyoke’s Blue Beetle #24 (August, 1943):
When Charlton revamped the character in 1964, they made him archeologist Dan Garrett and they always spelled it “Garrett.” That’s what I think you’re thinking of.
Charlton spelled it “Garrett” until their second revamp of the character in 1967 which introduced Ted Kord. In the '67 Blue Beetle, Steve Ditko and co. reverted back to the “Garret” spelling for archeologist Dan. So, I guess both Golden Age and Silver Age used both spellings.
