Tarzan is the English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke.  He is the hero of a series of novels, beginning in 1914, written by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, and a series of movies, beginning in 1918.  He is most memorably portrayed on film by former Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller, beginning in 1932, and on television by Ron Ely, beginning in 1966.  However, my favorite depiction was in the Filmation animated television series beginning in 1976.

Korak is the son of Tarzan, 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.

In "Korak Meets Batgirl by Bowen12a",Batman and Robin evict the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan from Batgirl's hotel room without his loincloth.  In this picture, daddy manages to rescue his boy from the prowling cat burglars.

The four-picture series "Korak in the Hallway by Bowen12a" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2017.  Tarzan is based upon the character from the Filmation animated television series.

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