The first
two SHIVER AND SHAKE Holiday Specials were published in 1973 and 1974 when the
paper was up and running. Both have been covered in their dedicated posts HERE and HERE. The same goes for the first two Annuals cover dated 1974 and 1975 –
you can take a look at them HERE and HERE.
As was the
case with all IPC comics titles, SHIVER AND SHAKE didn’t end with the last
edition of the weekly in 1974 but lived on for many years in the form of
Holiday Specials and Annuals.
Holiday
Specials continued until 1980, running up to 6 more editions published after the
demise of the weekly.
Annuals
lasted even longer with the last one released for the Christmas of 1985, so
that’s eleven more books in addition to the two already covered.
Every
Special and Annual will receive its own blog post over the coming weeks until
all have been accounted for but there may be some delay because I am going on
holiday :)
Enjoy your holiday! Be sure to take a few holiday and summer specials with you! ;)
