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.

Hercules is a classical hero and god who is famous for his strength and for his wide-ranging adventures.  The son of the god Jupiter, his Greek counterpart is named Heracles.


Korak strives to emulate his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is both more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.




Hercules has the advantage of strength, toughness, and experience.  Korak seeks to prevail with speed, endurance, and enthusiasm.  Unfortunately, a couple crotch shots seem to have slowed down the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan.

This 58-picture series "Hercules vs. Korak by 09tuf" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2018 and 2019 in 13 pages and 16 additional pictures.  Seventeen pictures in four pages and five additional pictures are available here.


The alt picture "Hercules vs. Korak 7 alt by 09tufwas initially omitted from the series because I wanted to portray Korak fighting back some more at that stage.  However, the picture looked so good that I included it in this blog as an addendum. 


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