 Without its solidly popular superhero strips to rely on, the editorial staff seemed pathologically incapable of settling on a fixed line-up.In the aftermath of the changes made in August 1969, further changes made at the start of 1970 left "Smash" looking very different from its appearance in the wake of the relaunch just 12 months earlier.A vast number of new strips were added, in a second re-launch, such that only half of those introduced in March 1969 now survived, although those which continued included "Master of the Marsh", "Janus Stark", "His Sporting Lordship", "Battle of Britain", "Eric the Viking", "Wacker", "The Handcuff Hotspurs", "The Swots and the Blots", and "Percy's Pets" – the latter two now being the only remaining Odhams strips.
