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. Discontinued were "King of the Ring" (last survivor of the serious strips from the Odhams era), "Sergeant Rock – Special Air Service", and "Cursitor Doom". Three of the strips only recently introduced were also dropped, namely the wartime "Q-Squad", British superhero "Tri-Man", and the humour strip "The Touchline Tearaways". The first changes in 1970 occurred in the issue dated 24 January, when three new strips appeared, all reprints from "Buster": "The Kid Commandos", "Consternation Street", and "Monty Muddle – The Man from Mars" (originally titled "Milkiway – The Man from Mars"). These were introduced as part of a relaunch of the comic: by once again bringing in some of the changes a few weeks ahead of the relaunch, as had been done in the Spring of 1969, the publisher hoped to disguise the true extent of the changes. "The Kid Commandos" was a war story about three cockney children stranded in occupied France in World War Two. Drawn by Tom Kerr, the Sparrow children – Tommy, Jan and Podge – were on the run from the Germans each week, in a single page strip set in 1940. This was another reprint from "Buster", in which it appeared from 9 January to 24 July 1965, under the imaginative title "The Sparrows Go To War". In the humour strip "Consternation Street" drawn by Reg Parlett (the title spoofed that of the popular British television soap opera, "Coronation Street"), which was usually a one-page strip, a collection of unlikely neighbours rubbed shoulders in a very small street. Watched over by the dim-witted Constable Clott were the Snobbs and the Ardupps, Colonel Curry & Caesar (his dog), Miss Primm and her pets, Cutprice the Grocer, and Roger the Lodger.
