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.
Wolverine is the alias of James Howlett, a mutant who
possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, powerful
regenerative ability known as a healing factor, and three retractable
claws in each hand. He joined the X-Men, appearing in the Marvel comic
book series in 1975, the animated
television series in 1992, and various films, starting in 2000.
Wolverine has emerged as a fan favorite and has starred in his own comic
books and films.
The three-picture series "Wolverine vs. Korak by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2020. Although he is a peak human teen-aged jungle boy, Korak is no match for Wolverine.
This series is also meant as a representation of the inability of traditional heroes to compete in the superhero era in terms of popularity and commercial success.
These
pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation
of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak. I introduced Wolverine as
a bemused sparring partner and potential antagonist. These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
