Korak and the Hunter (st00pz)

Korak and the Hunter by st00pz

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.

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.

A big-game hunter has come to Africa to hunt a white Bengal tiger which an animal collector had imported from South Asia.  The tiger has escaped and is now free, while the collector has been arrested and is now in jail.

Seeing this as a tremendous opportunity, the hunter suspects that Korak, the son of Tarzan, has an idea where the tiger is.  He also correctly suspects that the young hero would not betray the tiger to the him willingly.  Good.  This gives the hunter the perfect excuse to spend more time with the handsome jungle boy in order to demonstrate his powers of persuasion.
