Having said that, around '73 (I think) there were quite a few dated looking reprints in it, which couldn't have helped its sales. Regarding letters, McS, very few people actually write in to a comic - that's why readers polls aren't a good guide on deciding the contents. The responses only reflect the tiny percentage of readers who get in touch, not necessarily the wider readership. I remember the depute editor on Buster telling me that some weeks they had to make up letters because of the paltry amount of correspondence they received.

The Rivals, Great Fighters etc - the letters page as I recall was always really boring though.
