2 comics in one, double the fun! Shiver and Shake issue number one appeared on 10th March 1973 and included a ' Free Practical Joke'. One of four alternate free gifts. 'Which one will you get?' the comic asked.

The layout of the Shiver and shake comic followed the same format as it's stablemate Whizzer and Chips with two rival comics in one. The first comic Shiver was edited by 'Shiver' the ghost whose first words to a terrified boy on the front cover were 'Helloooo my comic is haunted!' The other comic was edited by an elephant called Shake, why wouldn't it be?
