This short-lived weekly comic from IPC was published from 1973 to 1974.
It borrowed the central gimmick of Whizzer and Chips, dividing itself into two mini-comics: one headed by a ghost named Shiver, the other by an elephant named Shake.
The Shiver section featured strips featuring ghosts and other beasties, while the Shake section presented more standard comic fare, featuring bullies, pranksters etc.
Shiver and Shake lasted for just eighty-three issues before merging into Whoopee!
Strips included:
Adrian’s Wall
Charlie Williams
The Duke’s Spook
Frankie Stein – from Wham!
Gal Capone
The Fixer
The Hand
Horrornation Street
Lolly Pop
Match of the Week
