Six Degrees of Shako!

How many links does it take to connect Shako to any other 2000 AD or Megazine character?

For example, Gene the Hackman has a Shako number of one, because they starred together in "Shako's Kingdom" in the 2020 Sci-Fi Special.

What about The Gronk?

I think this one counts - depends on your view of End of Days and 'Shako' in that, but

Gronk > Johnny Alpha > Dredd > Shako so I make that 3 degress of Shako?

hmmm -- for some links they would have to be creators, rather than series. For example -- The V.C.'s


Shako -- Gene The Hackman -- Dan Abnett -- The V.C.'s

Don't forget the twin crossover delights of Armoured Gideon III and Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter...

From there you can trace Shako > Giant (of Harlem Heroes) > Giant Jr (or indeed Giant Jr Jr) > Dredd > Geeks > VCs.
Although 5 degrees of Shako is probably more than you need.

Anyone wanna attempt Shako > Slaine?

Surely, if you're including creators, that would just be Slaine - Pat Mills - Shako?

Heh, was it. Can't recall tbh.
I mean slaine undoubtedly appeared in that horrible splash page in the Helter Skelter so 90% of the time Thats the answer without a creator

He did, and that's a good point - along with Armoured Gideon and Sin/Dex, you can achieve a lot of links with Helter Skelter.

And the multiverse page of Sin/Dex too. I'd forgotten about that but from memory that page featured a LOT of characters.

Colin YNWA

There was also the Sinister Dexter episode (prog 2013 ad???) Were the skip through numerous dimensions.

Dark Jimbo

Yep, that's why I mentioned Sin/Dex.

Firekind. That alien torturer lad. Pussyfoot 5. Devlin Waugh. Dredd. Shako.

If it's like the Kevin Bacon game, then I believe it's actors in movies (rather than writers etc.), so we should stick to characters in stories.

I can do Shako to The V.C.s like this:

The V.C.s fight the Geeks - a Geek is in The Collector (Armoured Gideon) with Shako. Shako Number: 2

Aye, I was going to suggest that connecting by creator makes the game a bit too easy. A lot of writers have had a crack at Dredd over the years.

If you're not counting the End of Days 'fake shako' then:

Gronk > Smiling Chukwalla > Blackhawk > Armoured Gideon > Shako, for 5 degress of Shako
