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.
