You're absolutely right. In that era, there was no aesthetics where stories came from. MACH 1 worked surprisingly well, but the necessary weekly discipline of a self-contained adventure every week was too harsh. I also wish I could have got more SFX designs from Doug Church, our art supremo, because they really made the character
Yes, this was the start to the changing of the guard. There were a group of us who each subscribed to one of Warlord, Valiant and The Victor at that time, and then Battle joined the fray. But it didnt last; when 2000 AD launched a couple of years later it was finally the end of WW2 for me.
I was one of those who was happy with the 'uncool' strips - I was young enough to get entertainment out of everything - M.A.C.H. 1 was one of my favourites. I'm surprised Rebellion didn't sue over the 2018 film Upgrade (then again, The Six Million Dollar Man and Deathlok might want a word 😅).
