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.
