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.

Batgirl is best known as the crime-fighting alias of Barbara Gordon, a librarian and daughter of Police Commissioner Gordon.  After initially appearing as Betty Kane from 1961 to 1964 in the DC comic book series, she was reintroduced in 1967 in both the comic book series and the 1966 television series, with Yvonne Craig as Ms. Gordon.

The two-picture series "Batgirl and Korak by jen-and-kris" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2015.  In "Korak Meets Batgirl" by Bowen12a, Batgirl strikes up a friendship with Korak.  In this series, she continues her discussion of bondage with the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan.

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

Korak and Aqualad in a Desert

Korak and Aqualad in a Desert by jen-and-kris

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.

Aqualad is the youthful sidekick of Aquaman, the King of Atlantis.  Introduced in 1960 as Garth, the posthumous, exiled prince of Hidden Valley, with Aquaman in the DC comic book series Adventure Comics, Aqualad also appeared in the 1967 animated television series on CBS.

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.

Aqualad finds himself in a desert outside of Korak's jungle.  Fortunately, the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan comes to the rescue.

The picture "Korak and Aqualad in a Desert by jen-and-kris" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2015.

This picture is fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  I reintroduced Aqualad as a potential friend and rival.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.

Wonder Woman vs. Korak by jen-and-kris 

Wonder Woman vs. Korak 2 by jen-and-kris

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.

Wonder Woman is Princess Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Amazon Queen Hippolyta.  She is the hero of her own DC comic books series, debuting in 1941, a 1975 television series, and various blockbuster films.  She was a founding member of the Justice League.

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.

Korak seeks to improve his fighting skills by challenging stronger opponents.  Wonder Woman accepts (a) because she can teach the callow, young hero some valuable fighting techniques, (b) because she is worried that her rejection may lead him to challenge a more serious foe, and (c) because she is frankly fond of the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan.

The two-picture series "Wonder Woman vs. Korak by jen-and-kris" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2015.  It follows up on "Wonder Woman and Korak (jen-and-kris)".  Although he is a peak human teen-aged jungle boy, Korak is no match for Wonder Woman.

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

Mitch meets a beautiful, red-haired girl, and they rub suntan lotion over each other.  They seem to have potential.

I commissioned a 21-picture series from 09tuf through DeviantArt in 2015 in five pages and three additional pictures.  Three pictures are available here.  More will be available in "Mitch's Day at the Beach 2".

Teen lifeguard Victor is an original character whom I share with the artist GonZZoArt at DeviantART.

I commissioned a six-picture series from GonZZoArt through DeviantArt in 2015.  I am showing one of them here.

I introduced a character from the musical group The Village People as an antagonist.
