*Power Comics: When IPC/Fleetway bought out Odhams in the late 1960’s, Smash!, previously an anarchic vehicle mostly consisting of comedy strips, was made over into a faux-Valiant, with adventurers of all stripes, including “Cursitor Doom” and “Janus Stark”, two evocative and popular series. This new influx of issues commences with September 13th 1969 – the debut issue of the super-hero,”Tri-Man” – and runs straight through to the final issue, 3rd April 1971, after which the series was absorbed into Valiant, with “Simon test”, “Janus Stark”, and “His Sporting Lordship” making the leap, though only Mr. Stark had a prolonged career in his new home. Join the “Swots and the Blots”, “The Birdman of Baratoga”, and “The Master of the Marsh” for fun and thrills in the great British tradition!
