From Kashgar-

You are quite correct in your assumption that there were only 79 issues of Shiver and Shake published and that none were published for the four weeks in July 1974. This was due to strike action by certain printers that IPC were using at the time and also affected other titles they published like Buster while others, like Tiger, which were printed web-offset by another firm remained unaffected.
As well as the numbering of Ken Reid's Creepy Creations feature somewhat giving the game away another big clue is to be found in the final issue published before the strike, dated 29th June, in which it states that the adventure strip 'The Menace of the Alpha Man' drawn by Eric Bradbury will reach it's final instalment in the next issue and, lo and behold, that final instalment appears in the issue dated Aug 3rd.

So there was only 79 issues and none in July 1974....thanks Kashgar...the blog will be updated...

'GHOULDILOCKS' reminds me a bit of GRAHAM ALLEN'S style......and the 'GHOST'S REVENGE' is a bit like JOE McCAFFREY aping REG PARLETT.......but in both these cases, the style is slightly altered from the artist.s natural style, and these are only 'educated' guesses, PETER......cheers...ISPYSHHHGUY.

Was it the first or second Shiver and Shake which had a map of an island with Easter Island-ish stone heads? I would love to see that again, it reminds me of the same time as I watched the b/w Robinson Crusoe.

I think I recall there was a sheet of stickers with one of the first issues, 'Shiver', 'Shake' and 'Bone Idle'?

I think Moana Lisa was the work of Peter Davidson, who also drew Tin Teacher for Buster in the 1960's. Although I stand to be corrected.
