Smash! was a weekly British comic, published first by Odhams Press and then by IPC Media. It ran for 270 issues from 5 February 1966 to 3 April 1971, when it was merged into Valiant. During 1967 and 1968 Smash! was part of Odhams' Power Comics line, absorbing its sister titles Pow! on 14 September 1968 (issue 137) and Fantastic on 2 November 1968 (issue 144). As with all Power Comics Smash! included reprints from American Marvel Comics, but the last of these (Fantastic Four) ceased when the title was taken over by IPC in 1969.
