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 his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is both more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

After helping to free an elephant from a trap, Korak is knocked unconscious and finds himself captured in the camp of an ivory poacher.  This blog is based upon a story in the following Sunday Tarzan pages, which I reviewed:

Personally, I believe that the ivory poacher should have been harder on Korak.  He spared the helpless son of Tarzan from a beating and some painful submission moves.  I would like this blog to correct that.

The series "Korak and the Poacher" was commissioned from the artist TheRaytrix through DeviantART in 2021.  Eight pictures are available here. 

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