Arak #7
In "Le culte des assassins," Arak and his companions land at a deserted port teeming with silent ships, only to be ambushed by Samakin the pirate, a long-time foe of Re-is Hazz'. As Samakin's crew delivers prisoners to a priest of Shiva, the ritual takes a terrifying turn when the priest reveals a shocking transformation. With the divine power of his heritage flaring to life, Arak faces the monstrous manifestation of Shiva—using its own weapon to strike down the creature. Written by Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas, with evocative art by Tony DeZuniga and coloring by Adrienne Roy, this 1987 issue delivers a pulse-pounding blend of myth and mystery. The cover, also by Tony DeZuniga, captures the moment of confrontation with stark intensity.

Continuing their search for Arak's homeland, the friends dock at a port where there are plenty of ships at anchor, but no people. When they search the area, they're ambushed by an old enemy of Re-is Hazz', Samakin the pirate. Samakin and his men have been delivering sacrifices to a local priest of Shiva for sacrifice and getting gold in return. When Samakin pushes a little too hard for payment for the latest prisoners, the priest transforms into the image of Shiva and begins slaughtering everybody. But, Arak's divine heritage shows up once again when he slays the creature with its own weapon.
