Shiver and Shake was a British comic magazine published every Monday by IPC Magazines Ltd. [1] It ran from (issue dates) 10 March 1973 to 5 October 1974, when it merged with Whoopee! [1] As often happens with British comics, many names of strips were a play on popular television programmes and films of the time. The theme of the strips were mainly horror (albeit of a comic nature); similar to the later Monster Fun ; indeed, Frankie Stein appeared in both comics.
In an idea borrowed 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, while the eponymous Shake was an elephant. Both had their own strips in their respective sections ( The Duke's Spook and Shake). In 1973, the comic also featured a one-page strip starring stand-up comedian Charlie Williams.
Shiver and Shake ran for 79 issues. It also had eight specials, from 1973 to 1980, and 13 annuals, from 1974 to 1986. [2]
