TIME FOR ANOTHER 'TEENAGE TALES': HE SHOOK WHILE I SHIVERED...

It was Saturday, March 10th 1973, and me and a pal,

Adam Cowie, were in the Old Village quarter of our

town.  Earlier that very morning, I'd bought the 2nd ish of

SHIVER & SHAKE, and was much taken with the free

Spooky Screamer included within it.  So was Adam.
(Regular readers will recognise him as 'Billy Liar'.)

We went into a little newsagent's shop, called M.B.

BARR, and I bought some sweets at the main counter,

while Adam looked over the comics on another.  As I was

making my purchase, there was a sudden tearing sound,

which attracted not only my attention, but that of the two

elderly female shopkeepers.  Inwardly, my heart sank

because I'd guessed what had just happened.

My friend was somehow able to explain away the

sound and the two shopkeepers couldn't notice any-

thing obviously amiss, so I completed my purchase and

we left the shop.  As I suspected, Adam had torn the free

Screamer from the interiors of S&S #2 on the counter -

not something I was pleased about, but there was noth-

ing I could do.  At least he hadn't nicked the whole

comic, which was a small consolation to me.

We then went into a centuries old church grave-

yard, whereupon Adam ran about from tombstone to

tombstone, blowing his Screamer and trying to scare a

young couple strolling around, studying the inscriptions.

(Or maybe they were just in there for a bit of 'petting'.) 

What a pillock he was when I think back on it, but I also

can't help smiling at his naivety in believing that his

Spooky Screamer was capable of actually scaring

anyone - even in an ancient graveyard.

So, 'though I was an unwitting (and unwilling)

'accomplice' in the theft of a free gift, whenever I

think back to that day, the memory is a pleasant one.

Shiver & Shake ran for only 83 issues, but it deserved

to last longer, being a good wee comic.  Although I was

only 14 at the time, I was happy to see two characters,

FRANKIE STEIN and GRIMLY FEENDISH, re-

turn from my childhood, where they'd first appear-

ed in WHAM! and SMASH! in the '60s.

Did you buy Shiver & Shake back in the day?

 What are your memories of the comic, chums?
