Shiver and Shake

Shiver and Shake

"Shiver and Shake" was a British comic book that ran from (issues dates) 10 March 1973 to 5 October 1974, when it merged with "Whoopee!". As in the tradition of British comics many names of strips were a play on popular television programmes and films of the time. Similar to "Monster Fun" later, the theme of the strips were mainly horror (albeit of a comic nature). Indeed Frankie Stein appeared in both comics. Borrowing from the successful "Whizzer and Chips", it was two comics in one; "Shake" being a pull-out section from "Shiver". The main star of "Shiver" was a ghost of the same name, whilst "Shake" was an elephant. Both had their own strips in their respective sections ("The Duke's Spook" and "Shake"), "The Duke's Spook" changing to "Shiver" after its merger. Other strips in "Shiver and Shake" included:
