Korak and Spiderman in a Venus Flytrap

Korak and Spiderman in a Venus Flytrap 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.

Spiderman is the alias of Peter Parker, the orphaned nephew of Ben and May Parker of New York City.  Having acquired superpowers when he was bitten by a radioactive spider, he is the hero of his own Marvel comic books series, debuting in 1962, various animated television series, beginning in 1967, a live-action television series in 1978, and various films, starting in 2002.


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.


Spiderman finds himself in a giant Venus flytrap in Korak's jungle.  Fortunately, the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan swings to the rescue. 

The picture "Korak and Spiderman in a Venus Flytrap 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 introduced Spiderman as a potential friend and rival.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
