Korak (to Spiderman):  All right!  I take it back.  Spiders aren't creepy.

Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

Spiderman is the alias of Peter Parker, the orphaned nephew of Ben and May Parker of New York City.  Having acquired superpowers when he was bitten by a radioactive spider, he is the hero of his own Marvel comic books series, debuting in 1962, various animated television series, beginning in 1967, a live-action television series in 1978, and various films, starting in 2002.

Korak strives to emulate the heroics of his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

The four-picture series "Korak in a Spider's Web by jen-and-kris" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2016.  

The handsome, athletic son of Tarzan finds himself in a sticky situation.  He may be a peak human, teen-aged jungle boy, but he is helpless against the owner of this web.

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  Spiderman is a potential friend and rival.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
