>>103713758>>Fleetway Sonic was fun, outside of the endless repeats as it went on.From an interview about STC in the Judge Dredd Megazine, apparently Egmont-Fleetway had a policy assuming that their titles had five-year readership cycles - after 5 years whatever people reading it originally would have all moved on, so they could safely reprint material from earlier issues and cut down on costs.
The thing is, it was exactly the opposite for many readers. As a kid I loved STC but I was actively driven away from it when they started reprinting stories that I'd already read, I distinctly remember throwing copies back down onto the newsagent stand in disgust. As usual the corporate suits didn't know jack.
