'''''Shiver and Shake''''' was a [[British comics|British comic]] magazine published every Monday by [[IPC Media|IPC Magazines Ltd]].<ref name=KibbleWhite>{{cite book |last=Kibble-White |first=Graham |authorlink=Graham Kibble-White |title=The Ultimate Book of British Comics |publisher=[[Allison & Busby]] |year=2005 |isbn=0-7490-8211-9}}</ref> It ran from (issue dates) 10 March 1973 to 5 October 1974, when it merged with ''[[Whoopee! (comic)|Whoopee!]]''<ref name=KibbleWhite/> 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 (comics)|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 (comics)|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 (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.<ref>[https://comicvine.gamespot.com/shiver-and-shake-annual/4050-37633/ Shiver and Shake Annual], ComicVine. Retrieved May 16, 2021.</ref>
