Mrs. Leugenaar:  I love riding with you Korak! I feel much safer with a strong handsome young man riding with me.

Korak:  I enjoy riding with you too Mrs. Leugenaar. You’re a beautiful rider.

Mr. Leugenaar:  Good afternoon Korak. I see that you've been riding with my wife again.

Mrs. Leugenaar:  Sorry Lee. I just feel more comfortable with a strong set of muscles around me, and you were busy again, so it's partly your fault too.

Mr. Leugenaar:  Well, I'm here now, so we shouldn't be imposing upon young Korak's time and good will any further. Take care of yourself Korak. Give my regards to your parents.

Mrs. Leugenaar:  I'll see you later Korak. Thanks for taking care of the horses.

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 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.

Annie and Lee Leugenaar are a wealthy married couple who are neighbors of Greystoke Ranch in Africa.  The handsome, athletic son of Tarzan innocently agrees to be Annie's riding partner.

This 5-part picture series "Korak and the Leugenaars by Bowen12a" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2016.  

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.
