This alien being calls itself Shakara and it is seemingly bent on wreaking revenge on those responsible for the destruction of its people. The Shakara were thought to be long dead – but retribution is coming from beyond the grave! Written by Robbie Morrison (Nikolai Dante) and beautifully illustrated by Henry Flint (The A.B.C. Warriors), Shakara is a thrill-packed slice of 2000 AD at its very best.
