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.

In this series, Korak and Spiderman meet again.

This multi-picture series was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2021.  Four pictures are available here.

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.

Dorno and the Space Trapper

Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet.  The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

The 5-picture series "Dorno and the Space Trapper by roemesquita" was one that I commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2021.  

It was inspired by an episode from the second season in 1981.  In "Space Trapper", an animal hunter seeks to collect live animal specimens to sell to a zoo.  He is armed with a mind-control device which can force animals to do his bidding.  He uses this device to force the Herculoids to immobilize Dorno and attack Zandor.  This is a whimsical depiction of a revised episode in which the Trapper executes a different commission from a zoo.

These pictures are fan art and primarily intended to raise interest in the Herculoids and Dorno.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any movies, television series or any other derivative media.

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 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.

After helping to free an elephant from a trap, Korak is knocked unconscious and finds himself captured in the camp of an ivory poacher.  This blog is based upon a story in the following Sunday Tarzan pages, which I reviewed:

https://korak225reviews.blogspot.com/2020/12/korak-in-sunday-tarzans-321969.html

Personally, I believe that the ivory poacher should have been harder on Korak.  He spared the helpless son of Tarzan from a beating and some painful submission moves.  I would like this blog to correct that.

The series "Korak and the Poacher" was commissioned from the artist TheRaytrix through DeviantART in 2021.  Eight pictures are available here. 

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.

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.

Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum to aid the United States government's efforts in World War II.  He starred in his own Marvel comic book series in 1941, his own movie serial in 1944, and other films and television series.

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.

In the previous series Korak and Captain America, the son of Tarzan was detained as an undocumented alien.  Apparently, his loincloth did not have any pockets for his identification.

Now, a remorseful Captain America releases Korak and tries to make it up to the handsome son of Tarzan.

This eight-picture series was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2021.  Four pictures are available here.

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.

Scott Hardy is an original character whom I share with the artist FranjoGutierrez at DeviantART.  Scott is an actor who played the role of Korak, son of Tarzan, in a Lara Croft movie.  

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.

In the previous movie, the son of Tarzan served as Lara Croft's handsome sidekick, who was able to defeat a villainous mercenary in a fight but fell for the charms of a mysterious vixen, who offers the young hero to a carnivorous plant.  Korak is now ready to embark on his own adventures.  

In this series, the son of Tarzan is introduced to the champ and his girlfriend on a safari to take pictures in Africa.  Our young hero observes the champ's girlfriend wandering outside of camp after dark.  The champ's girlfriend welcomes the attention and wants to show the handsome youth how much.  However, Korak believes that he must maintain a certain level of professionalism as a jungle guide.  The champ's girlfriend is not impressed.

The multi-picture series "Korak and the Champ" was commissioned from FranjoGutierrez through DeviantART in 2021.  Six pictures are available here.

This picture is fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
