A few years ago I blogged about the changes, and if you missed that article you can read it here:

Incidentally, I've put The Swots and the Blots into a cameo appearance in the all-new Cor!! and Buster Special, on sale 17th April!

Funny, I just pulled the first new look issue of Smash! out of storage along with some earlier editions and Pow! and Wham! Back in the day I found the change a sharp jolt but enjoyed some of the new strips.
I accepted it at the time but only stuck with it for a few weeks. Then I started buying it again a year later and enjoyed it more, sticking with it until the end, and into its merger with Valiant. However, comics like that never got a look in with me when the Odhams titles were around, but by 1970 I realised those style of comics were not coming back so I settled for IPC.
