 IPC had waited three months to relaunch "Smash", because, on the one hand, it needed some lead-time in which to ready new strips, and, on the other, in the publishing industry Spring was traditionally considered a good time to launch a new (in this case, a virtually new) comic.With the re-launch, "Smash" became the last ever British comic to feature a variety mix of adventure, humour and sports themed stories.Subsequent boys' comics featured exclusively sports, or war, or humour; such as "Scorcher and Score" and "Shoot" (which featured only soccer), and "Action" and "Battle" (which featured only war stories).
