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'' 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'' was an elephant. Both had their own strips in their respective sections ('' The Duke's Spook'' and ''Shake'').
