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.
