The Hand
    
                             
    The Hand was - surprise - a ghostly floating hand who
    would manipulate events to help those in need, or hinder
    Bad Guys. He was a kind of Hand of Fate, in a way.
    Well, we're presuming our handy friend was a "he"'
    because it looked quite masculine, but the origin of
    this disembodied spook was never divulged...

    Even odder than a floating, ghostly hand was the notion
    that this apparition could think of its own free will. In fact,
    our Mr Hand would regularly inform us of its actions in
    think bubble form. Spooky, eh?

    

    The Hand drifted through all 79 issues of Shiver & Shake
    He departing from the weekly comics when the title merged
    with Whoopee! in October 1974...
